Easy to understand and use control system features a safety clutch that does not kill the engine or require re-adjusting settings to resume operation. The unique manual chain control allows trenching through extra tough soil, roots, or rocks without the need to continually adjust ground speed.
The wheel drive hydrostat pump and digging chain gear pump are coupled together and then to the engine for a clean and simple application, with easy access for maintenance or adjustment.
