Radio controlled tracked carrier

The first SEPPI M self-propelled tracked vehicle to be used in the agricultural, forestry and municipal sectors can be used for mulching steep slopes, maintaining water channels, clearing under power lines, right-of-way (ROW) maintenance, working on and around farmland, cleaning forests, maintaining roads and trails, and much more.

Behind the ergonomic design there is sophisticated technology.

Its distinctive feature is the radio control. It is equipped with a graphic display that monitors all functions, statuses, and any anomalies. The frequency range is 2.4 GHz and covers distances of up to 160 metres.

The vehicle has a 49 HP Perkins 3-cylinder STAGE V turbodiesel engine and its separate hydraulic systems of four pumps ensures independent functional control of the track and of the tool in all situations.

The stability and grip of the vehicle is guaranteed even on difficult terrain thanks to the optimally positioned centre of gravity.

The track can be widened by 25cm on each side, for a total of 181cm, and the vehicle will therefore be able to tackle vertical and horizontal gradients of up to 55°.

The wide tracked undercarriage ensures stable and reactive vehicle movements, both uphill and when crossing wide and irregular slopes.

The individual tracks are tensioned by a hydraulic system, which regulates the tension according to the conditions of the ground and prevents the track from striping or breaking.

The high traction tracks have a high profile to ensure excellent stability and grip on slopes up to 55° in optimal conditions.

The MAX 50 le is supplied with a SEPPI mulching attachment. With this combination, mulching, grinding, tilling and crushing work can be carried out even on hard-to-access terrains.

The radio-controlled tracked carrier is available with a MICROFORST rc radio-controlled forestry mulcher, and in the future, it will also be available with a stone/soil crusher MICROSOIL rc or a flail mulcher for grass and light brush.
