The weight balance, stability, and fast tine speed allow the BARRETO to work
where others can't. The shock absorbing action of hydraulic power means the BARRETO won't
run away while tilling hard, rocky or unbroken ground.
The wheel drive hydrostat pump and digging chain gear pump are coupled together
and then to the engine for a clean and simple application. With the hydraulic chain drive
motor attached directly to the head shaft, high maintenance gear boxes, chains and belts
have been eliminated.
Easy to understand and use control system features a safety clutch that does
not kill the engine or require re-adjusting settings to resume operation. The 4-Wheel Drive
Trencher also features the SnapLocTM Four Wheel Drive System.
On the 918, the tines are redesigned so that they work either conventionally
or in counter rotating mode. Fingertip controls offer infinitely variable ground speeds
both forward and reverse, for incredibly easy operation. By keeping wheels operating independently
of tines, you can easily match wheel speed to soil conditions.
