When retracted, the arm delivers comparable force to a standard arm, but may be extended for trench clean out, dump- ing spoil or truck loading, and minimizes machine repositioning. The option also enables the operator to use a hydraulic clamp for picking and placing material. A rocker style thumb switch located on the joystick operates the extendable arm cylinder. The arm allows for the use of up to 16 different attachments and accom- modates the optional Hydraulic X-Change mounting system. Write 010 on Reader Service Card or visit EquipmentWorld.com/info EW
