Tremendous axle capacity for a best-in-class static load rating of 39,000 lb (17,690 kg) and best-in-class 35,215 lb (13,944 kg) of breakout for plowing applications.
Three-speed, shift-on-the-fly ground drive is superior to competitors’ two-speed ground drives, giving you more options as jobsite conditions and requirements change.
Standard rear steering feature gives the RT80 Quad a tighter turn radius and better maneuverability on tight jobsites, while our innovative chevron-pattern tread puts more power on the ground for maximum productivity.
Whether you’re plowing or trenching, standard cruise control enables you to maintain optimal performance in many ground conditions.
