TEC® 2000 ELECTRONIC
CONTROL SYSTEM.
TEC 2000 is a microprocessor-based control
system that monitors operating conditions
and
informs the operator of real-time machine
performance for increased productivity and
reduced wear to the machine.
EXCLUSIVE SLIDING OFFSET CUTTING
PERFORMANCE.
The T558 is the only sliding
offset trencher in its
class that can dig outside the
width of the left
track – up to 9" (22.9 cm) with a
24" (61 cm)
chain setup.
OPTIONAL LOADING CONVEYOR. An optional
stowable loading conveyor stores
easily, and
unlike competitive models does not
require
removal for transportation.
VANTAGE TRACK. Relax in the confidence
that your investment
is protected and your entire
closed loop hydrostatic
system is covered with a
3-year/3000-hour
Extended Care Service program.
OPTIONAL AUTO TILT TRACK. An oscillating
track frame allows the track to follow
the ground’s
contour providing a vertical trench
on slopes up to
10 degrees.
HORIZONTAL SLIDING CAB. A large
pressurized/air filtered cab slides 24"
(61 cm)
horizontally to allow greater visibility
for
the operator.
