Terrain Leveler SEM T1255 Direct Drive

The direct drive features a hydraulic low-speed motor on each side of the SEM cutter head providing more direct drive power to the cutter drum. The SEM top-down cutting allows the cutter teeth to gain penetration without using the machine’s tractive effort to drive the teeth into the minerals which increases overall material extraction productivity.
