The W730 has the power to push. A Cat®C4.4 Tier 4F/StageV engine with 174 hp (129 kW) powers the 4-wheel drive, 4-wheel steer widener. Hydrostatic drive with 2-speed motor and 2-speed gearbox delivers 350fpm (106 mpm) working speed and 12 mph(19 km/hr) transport speed. A 3.5 yd3 (2.6 m3) hopper means fewer truck exchanges during the workday.
The 30” (762 mm) wide belt and 800 fpm (242 mpm) belt speed provides quick placement of materials to either side of the machine.The hydraulically adjustable dump hopper accommodates varying trucks. 25” (635 mm) tall strike-off tools widen from1’ (.3 m) to 14’ (4.2 m) and are capable of placing material up to 12” (305 mm) above and below grade.
