Features may include:

Wide frame design for structuralstrength resulting in a reductionin frame cracking. This also allowsfor improved hose routing withminimal exposed hoses.

Extremely tough fixedfront knife.

Magnetic touch-less encoders forbetter accuracy and extendedlife duration.

D-Glide bushing material forextended life and durability ofmain pins.

Innovative spring timinglink to allow for variationin multi stem diameterswithout loss of drivetraction.

Fabricated delimb armswith replaceable highwear resistant alloycutting edges.

Extended delimb tips and pop angle forease of picking from the stack.

Bidirectional drive teethdesign for optimum grip inboth forward and reverse.

Hose through design tobetter protect hosing. Standardon every model.

High pressure heavy wallcylinders with halite packing kits.

Large diameter with expanderlock pins for decreased wear andincreased life.

Extra wide measuring wheel allowsoperator to accurately measure bothsingle and multi-stems.

Innovative side stepping drivefeature allowing for independentcontrol of two stems.

This allows the operator to alignbutts of multiple stems, trimdefects in one stem but not theother, and or process one stemand not the other.

Dual find end sensors to eliminatewastage when multi-stemming.
