Features and advantages

Full Flotation
- The two 30-inch wide tracks of the RTS Series provide constant ground contact for exceptional flotation and minimum ground pressure. It stands apart from the competition in heavy snow conditions, as well as light and wet snow.
Comfort
- Internal drive sprockets and rubber tracks, combined with high performance suspension systems on boogie wheels, provide a smooth ride and maximum operator comfort for hours on end.
Reliability
- Due to the modular frame design, the tractor rests on the chassis. The simple and robust frame allows easy and fast maintenance for unmatched reliability.
Efficiency
