Bandit Industries, Remus, Michigan, has recently unveiled the BTC-300 track carrier, kicking off a new track carrier line that will include additional machines in the future.
“The BTC-300 is the next evolution for high-performance track carriers,” Jason Morey, Bandit sales manager, says. “And the feedback we’ve received about our new track carrier has been amazing. Customer feedback went into a majority of the design of the BTC-300.”
A 10-way adjusting air-ride chair positions all the controls with easy reach, and bulletproof-grade glass eliminates the need for metal safety bars, the company says. The BTC-300 also maintains falling object protective structures (FOPS)/roll-over protective structures (ROPS)/operational (OPS) safety standards.
Maintenance components designed to be easily accessible, most from the ground or built-in platforms. Hydraulic pumps are also easily accessible, and separate hydraulic systems operate the tracks and the mower head.
The BTC-300 rides on a 315 steel tracks from Caterpillar (Cat), Peoria, Illinois. Engine options are available from John Deere, Moline, Illinois; Cat; and Volvo, Goteborg, Sweden, up to 321 horsepower.
The BTC-300 can be outfitted with a 90-inch wide forestry mower head or a 44-inch diameter stump grinder cutter wheel.
