Overview
The MCM 83WDT is an 8.3-ton wheel-crawler excavator with a 36.8 kW Yuchai engine and 56 kN digging force: wheels to drive between jobs, tracks for stability when digging.
Wheels or tracks, one machine
The WDT design carries both wheels and crawler tracks. On wheels (hydraulic 2WD) the machine drives itself between jobs on a farm or site; lowered onto its tracks, it gets the stability and traction of a crawler for digging.
The MCM 83WDT weighs 8 300 kg and is powered by a Yuchai YCF3050-T450 engine of 36.8 kW. Working fuel consumption is listed at 5.8 L/h.
