SummaryAfron introduces the NEXT.GEN Power Units: rugged pruning machines designed for orchard pruning of nut, citrus and stone fruit. Equipped with a Tier 4 engine (options up to 200 hp / ≈149 kW), these units double the transport speed of previous models, reaching a maximum transport speed of 20 mph (≈32 km/h). Four-wheel steering provides an exceptionally tight turning radius for rows and dense plantings.
Advantages- Engine hood redesigned to drop off sharply to reduce brush buildup.
- Cooling system redesigned for improved performance on hot days.
- Cab slides to allow easy access to the cooling system and other components.
- Engine hood opens wide to expose all Tier 4 engine service points.
