| Road milling: Dual Operator Stations The MT2000 milling machine is a four-track, front-load, half-lane milling machine powered by a 610-hp Tier 3 Cummins Engine. The machine has three distinct engine and drum-cutting speeds selectable from the operator’s control panel, with a low-speed setting for higher torque on tough road beds and a high-speed setting for maximum travel speed on shallow cuts. Two operating stations allow flexibility while either panel can control both sides of the machine. Volvo Construction Equipment; 828-650-2000; www.volvo.com |
