downhill and sideways, without
putting the operator into risky and
unsafe situations and avoiding an
uncomfortable seating position
for the operator due to continuous
driving sideways on slopes and
ditches. An innovative remote
control ensures accurate guidance
of the vehicle at a range of up to 1
km. All of the controls and displays
the operator would normally see
in the cab are on the remote-
control unit too. The runtime of the
batteries reaches up to 10 hours.
Moreover, the tilting remote control
unit can be opened by a manual
pump, which allows easy access
and inspecting of all components
located underneath.
Accessibility. The engine
compartment is very accessible:
• The big side doors guarantee
easy access and perfect service
ability
PrimeTech PT-175
PT-175 to operate in dangerous
conditions and on very steep
slopes. It is able to perform uphill,
• T  he rear part of the frame is
hinged and can be opened for
quick and easy cleaning and
maintenance of the radiator.
Radiator and fan. PT-175 is
equipped with an oversized
radiator, allowing the machine to
operate in very hot climate with no
overheating issues. The radiator
The PT-175 on show for potential buyers
comes with coarse fins, preventing
it from getting plugged by dust
and dirt and making cleaning much
easier.
As an option, the PT-175 can be
equipped with a proportional (so-
called variable pitch) and reversible
sucker fan. Based on radiator
temperatures (coolant, intercooler
and hydraulic oil) the blades will
automatically adjust their position
in the most efficient and effective
way. This results in less power
absorbed by the fan and in lower
fuel consumption as well as less air
and dust flow crossing the engine
compartment, helping to keep it
cleaner.

• Rear winch with 6 t pulling power
• R
 ear view camera, with extra

• R
 ock guards for lower rollers and
sprocket guards
• Oil fill pump
• D
 rain filter for travel and mulcher
circuit
• T  rack chain guides to better
guide the track chains and to
reduce wear
• C
 anopy to avoid built-up of
debris and snow on engine
compartment.
• N
 ew GPS Plus with surface
mapping to monitor productivity
by measuring mulched surface,
overlap, etc. with an accuracy of
0-20 cm (0-8”).
• Air shut-off system
• Preheating system for the engine
and for the hydraulic oil
The rubber option provides extra surface protection
