Self-propels into the most remote jobsites on 20-in (50.8-cm) or 24-in (61-cm) double grouser track pads. High ground clearance and sealed rollers help keep material from building up in the track system. State-of-the-art wireless remote lets you operate the machine from up to 300 ft (91.4 m) away. An optional discharge blower system distributes processed wood over a large area or can fill a covered trailer from the rear end.
