The prime unit is a John Deere 12 metric ton excavator that has been modified to work on the rail. The standard undercarriage has been replaced with a hydraulic driven lower structure. The main unit has been fitted with a John Deere 120-HP unit that supplies power and hydraulics’ to operate the 8-foot mower head.. The 8-foot twin disc mower head is of the latest design and provides a clear cut without the hazards of flying debris. The combination of the reliability of the John Deere 120 and the safe design of the mower unit brings the ultimate in brush cutting technology to the railroad industry, providing high productivity, lower operating costs, lower maintenance costs and a product that has the world wide support of the John Deere dealer These products are available for Sale, Lease and Rentals.

FEATURES

A 90 horsepower engine and smooth powerful hydraulics combine to give the TCM-120C big time power. They work together to maximize engine output, save fuel, and makes multi-function operation a snap. Engine provides exceptional fuel economy for multiple day operation.                                                                                                                                                                                                    (1.5- 2 gal./hr fuel consumption) Daily service check points are easy to get to, thanks to large, easy-to-open service doors. Daily maintenance checks are all accessible at ground level. Hydraulic driven drive axles with integrated dynamic/failsafe braking are standard.                                                                                                                                                                                 This means there are no chain drives to maintain. Hydraulic driven generator with heavy duty cycle 30” magnet. An Ergonomic cab that brings a comfortable and safe work station for the operator. The cab includes a automatic blend-air climate system that maintains the exact temperature you want using heater/defrosters and air conditioning, a fully adjustable seat with lumbar support, cup holder, 12 volt cell phone jack are just some of the cabs convinces. Controls that are easy to reach and easy to move for boom and arm functions lever efforts have been reduced up to 10%. The auxiliary power unit is mounted on the rear of the main unit, and  provides an independent hydraulic circuit to operate mower head, This isolates the cutter head circuit from the travel and boom circuits  and prevents the chance the machine not being able to travel because of a  cutter head breakdown..
