OWATONNA, Minn. — General Equipment Company’s 190C CUT-R-TACH® rotary asphalt cutting attachment is specifically designed as a heavy-duty, high production solution to a wide range of asphalt cutting projects.

The 190C clamps directly to the buckets of tractor loader backhoes and wheel/track type loaders without special tools, modifications or adapters. Its patented twin screw clamping mechanism guarantees a tight fit in both forward and reverse cutting directions.

A 19-inch-diameter cutting blade is machined from a special service duty, alloy steel and yields a maximum asphalt cutting depth of 5-1/2 inches. The unit is designed to handle a maximum downward force of 50,000 pounds and the blade life expectancy is in excess of 25,000 lineal feet. Blades are fully field replaceable without disturbing bearings or seals.

The CUT-R-TACH® unit features unitized, welded steel plate construction that is reinforced at critical stress areas. It is capable of cutting up to 6,000 lineal feet per hour in high density asphalt and is a proven, highly productive alternative to conventional sawing and jackhammering methods.
