Features
CONSTRUCION
Heavy-Duty Transportation
The RoadRunner HD features a rigid frame with large 14" x 4" tubes on 52', 48' and 42' models and 12" x 4" tubes on 36' and 30' models.
The tricycle front wheels facilitate maneuvering for tight turns, and the tongue rotates fully under the frame so less space is needed during storage.
The tongue is length-adjustable from 57" to 81" to match individual towing needs and telescopes up to 24" for ease of hitching.
Models & Sizes
Models HD-52, HD-48, HD-42, HD-36 and HD-30 feature 52', 48', 42', 36' and 30' lengths for hauling a wide variety of corn heads, draper heads, grain platforms or choppers.
Rest Bar & Brackets
The upper rest bar allows full width support of the combine head or grain platform, and it contains storage space for extra cutter bars where the lower rest bar maintains its rigidity to carry the heaviest headers.
The rest pads on the RoadRunner HD features six-way adjustability for the greatest flexibility for carrying several different heads and platforms with one unit.
Rest brackets feature cam-lock handles for complete, tool-free adjustability, and tie downs with easy-operating ratchet for securing the load are standard equipment.
Transport Safety
Standard-equipment safety chain, frame mounted LED rear light package, reflective striping and optional electric rear and/or front brakes enhance transport safety.
RoadRunner HD models are available with 2-, 4- or 6-wheel brakes, depending on model, and includes a breakaway kit for added transport safety.
UNDERCARRIAGE
Undercarriage System
Tandem, adjustable 7,000 lb. rubber-cushioned rear axles with suspension and a wider 93" tread width for increased clearance for draper heads and corn heads with stalk stomper attachments.
Front and rear axle features torsion-flex suspension with highway-speed rated tires keep the RoadRunner HD smooth and stable when towing.
Standard-equipment front molded-poly fenders roate with the wheels to minimize road damage to combine heads and pickup tailgates.
