Selectable ground drive speed ranges enable the operator to choose the optimal speed for different applications.
Trench depth indicator allows the operator to continually monitor the depth of the trench from the comfort of the operator's station, reducing operator fatigue and increasing productivity.
Trenchers accept chains of up to 8 inches (203 mm) wide, enabling the operator to dig trenches for a wide range of applications.
Rear fenders deflect dirt and mud, increasing operator comfort.

Multiple tire options for multiple tasks:
18-inch (457 mm) air-filled tires
18-inch (457 mm) urethane-filled, flat-proof tires
20-inch (508 mm) urethane-filled, flat-proof tires provide heavy-duty performance, maximum stability, and minimal tire deflection under load.
