How the XR8D is built

Traxion side-angle legs
Independently adjustable scissor legs keep the machine level across banks of up to 35° and lift it over obstacles, with up to 27 inches of ground clearance.
FörstGrip feed rollers
Twin hydraulic rollers. The top one lifts on an arc and is held down by two heavy springs, so it climbs over butt ends and drags in forks and awkward limbs.
Open-top flywheel
A 728 × 30 mm flywheel with twin 10-inch blades and rear draught fins throws the chip to the front of the truck, wet material included.
55hp Doosan diesel
A Stage V 55hp Doosan DPF diesel.
AutoIntelligence control
Sealed electronics that run the no-stress feed, tell you when a service is due and prompt the routine checks. Proof against water and vibration.
Touch-button feed
Illuminated IP69-rated touch pads on both sides of the hopper, with a traditional feed bar as well.
Built to last
Heavy-gauge steel where it matters and extra support under the hopper.
Easy-access anvil
The anvil turns or swaps in minutes, so a fresh edge is never a workshop job.
Clear fuel tank
A see-through 35-litre tank with a wide filler neck. You can read the level from across the yard.
Optional lighting tower
A 3.5 m aluminium mast with two LED work lights, for night shifts on the railway.
