McConnel brings Tele-VFR capability to the 77-Series
McConnel’s latest 77-Series Power Arm is now available with Tele-VFR, bringing telescopic-variable forward reach technology previously reserved for flagship heavy-duty machines to a more compact, mid-range platform.
The system combines variable forward reach and telescopic movement, bringing the cutting head closer to the operator’s field of view for improved visibility, precision and comfort. Extra reach helps work around signs, posts and roadside obstacles, while the arm can also position the head behind the tractor wheel for close-in cutting in narrow lanes.
A redesigned phased-ram system maintains the correct flailhead position as the arm moves forward and back, reducing weight and increasing the available range of movement.
Built in Ludlow, the 77-Series combines larger pivot pins and a 48% increase in bush contact area with 70hp hydraulics as standard or an optional 85hp system. An integrated debris blower is also available.
