AGT Auto Grading Soil Trimmer

The AGT allows contractors to cut grade to a precise elevation with a smooth finish in hard sub-base materials. Where rock sub-base is required, use the trimmer once to grade the soil and again to cut the compacted rock base to the correct elevation. By using this method, contractors get a very precise yield on both rock and concrete or asphalt. Minimize your material usage to maximize profit!

The AGT skid steer trimmer is compatible with all brands of automated machine controls and functions with laser receivers, GPS, Robotic Total Station, sonic and string line sensors. The trimmer can be operated in manual mode as well.

The Burchland AGT's success stems from its 16-inch OD trimmer rotor that cuts an 8 foot wide path. The rotor is built with replaceable, carbide-tipped cutting teeth and 1/2 inch thick flighting that windrows the trimmed material to one side. The trimmer head is turned by a direct drive, large displacement hydraulic motor. Following a simple design, the AGT has no gearboxes or chain drives to maintain.The Burchland AGT's success stems from its 16-inch OD trimmer rotor that cuts an 8 foot wide path.

Behind the trimmer rotor is a grader blade edge that screeds off material and provides a smooth finish. The rotor and grader blade are moved up and down with two hydraulic cylinders to precisely follow the correct surface elevation. The rotor and grader blade are angled 5 degrees from the direction of travel to help ensure a smooth surface finish.

Another important feature of the AGT skid steer trimmer is the 16-inch diameter smooth drum roller that smooths out and seals the grade surface. The roller rides on the finished grade and acts as a stabilizer removing any movement from the skid steer loader arms. This helps the skid steer trimmer achieve a precise finish grade.

To provide the best performance, the Burchland AGT requires a high flow skid steer and a separate case drain line. Consult your skid steer dealer if your skid steer does not have a factory installed auxiliary case drain line.
