Shall have a minimum of 106 snap-in bits that insert into standard blocks that shall be welded securely to the skin of the cutter head. The cutter head and housing shall be designed so that only pulverized materials leave the drum assembly.

6. Cutter Head Drive: Power shall be transmitted from the engine to the cutter head through a power take-off and V-belts to a planetary reduction gearbox at the cutter head.

7. Active Hydraulic System: Shall be equipped with a hydraulic system consisting of a hydraulic gear pump that is engine powered by an auxiliary drive adapter, reservoir, pressure side filter, hydraulic manifold with tandem center valves, lines and two cylinders to actuate and control depth of cut. All hydraulic fittings shall be leak free and o-ring face seal or o-ring boss design.

Hydraulic fluid shall be dyed red to distinguish it from other engine fluids. The reservoir shall hold at least four U.S. gallons of hydraulic fluid.

8. Mounting: Unit shall be designed and recommended by the manufacturer to mount to the widest range of host vehicles with the front bucket of a loader equipped with a minimum 2 cubic yard bucket. Mounting system shall allow the loader to load, unload and operate the reclaiming / trenching machine. Mounting of the machine shall not require the removal of the bucket nor shall it require the use of a quick connect, quick connect hooks or direct attachment pins.

9. Hydraulic Bucket Clamps: Unit shall be equipped with a hydraulic bucket clamping system to secure the unit to the bucket of the host vehicle. This bucket clamping system shall be actuated by the active hydraulic system. System shall maintain a pressure of 1500 psi. The system shall have pressure relief valve to safeguard against over pressurizing the system.

10. Access Hatch: Shall be equipped with a hatch on the dome to allow inspection and maintenance of cutter head. Hatch shall have an electrical safety interlock that will prevent the engine from running or starting while the hatch is in the open position.

11. Front Skirt: Unit shall be equipped with a skirt type device that will serve several functions.

This device shall support the machine while operating and can be adjusted to control the depth of cut. This device shall also reduce the amount of debris that could be ejected from the dome by acting as a shield. The device shall also allow for new material such as crushed gravel or emulsions to be mixed with the pulverized asphalt. The device shall have three detachable skid feet, which can be replaced with optional, extended height skid feet to allow for a larger opening for greater amounts of material to be introduced to the cutter head and drum.

12. Weight: Unit with standard cutter head and without trailer and other options shall have a maximum dry weight of 7,400 pounds.

13. Wireless Remote Control: The unit shall have a wireless remote control consisting of a receiver and hand held transmitter that will be able to control engine speed, depth of cut and will also be able to shut off the engine from a distance of fifty feet.

14. Additional Equipment: Tools for changing cutter bits and a supply of twenty five extra bits and five extra blocks shall be provided. Two bucket retention chains equipped with grab hooks and slip locks shall be included.

15. Color: Unit shall be primed and painted with factory standard colors or other colors as specified by the customer. Shall include manufacturer’s standard warning, safety, and instructional decals.

Shall have identification and serial number decals.

16.
