Engine

Unit 9100 is powered by a turbo-charged 4 cylinder diesel engine. This allows the unit 100 horsepower at 2500 RPM and has a top speed of 13 MPH. This unit utilizes a Power shift transmission; which allows for 3 forward speeds and 3 reverse speeds.

Frame

Another additional feature includes a 21 GPM Hydraulic PTO option; with quick connect ports on each end of the unit.  The frame is constructed of steel plate, ranging in thickness from 1/4" to 1 1/2".

The suspension is a trailing arm type suspension that not only allows the axle to travel in a vertical direction; it also allows the axle to pivot about the drive train centerline, effectively keeping the tires in total contact with the ground in all but the most extreme circumstances. 

The unit has adjustable height suspension.  At the lowest suspension setting, and with the operator canopy at the lowest setting, the unit sits at 38" high over the canopy with 5 1/2" ground clearance.  To increase the ground clearance, the upper spring mounts must be substituted with the provided, 2 1/2" longer, upper spring mounts.  The axle retaining chain has to be replaced with the alternate, longer axle retaining chain, as well as, shims added between the axle and the trailing arm to bring the pinion back parallel



Exhaust system

This particular unit comes equipped with an exhaust treatment system.  The system cools the exhaust temperature allowing a paper filter to be used to collect the diesel exhaust particulate matter; this system is 96.9% effective.

This unit is 4-wheel drive with 4 wheel steering capabilities.  The steering is joystick controlled from a single operator compartment.  This allows the operator to steer the front axle while an on-board computer steers the rear axle. 

There are 3 modes of steering, Front Axle Only, Crab, and Coordinated.  Front Axle Only is the traditional style of steering, leaving the rear axle fixed in the straight position.  Crab mode allows the rear axle to steer in the same direction as the front axle, allowing the unit to move in a side ways movement.  Coordinated mode allows the rear axle to steer in the opposite direction as the front axle, allowing for an extremely tight turning radius. 

The braking system consists of a power assisted brake valve controlling the internal wet disc service/park brakes; which reduce interim, as well as, long-term maintenance.  The tires on this machine are also foam filled.
