with front cutting.
The machine is fitted with an engine which activa-
tes the cutting device assy, protected by a safety

another.
The articulated steering allows the machine to turn
smoothly round trees and other obstacles with a
very tight turning radius.
The operator can drive the machine and activate
the main commands from a sitting position in the
driver's seat.
The safety devices installed on the machine stop
the engine and the cutting device assy.
