Although based on existing models, the new XC6-4517 features better ergonomics and a new FOP and ROPS cab that offers good all-round visibility. High off-road performance is claimed while the machine is also manoeuvrable, with a minimum turning radius of 3.8m. The machine is designed to be robust and durable, allowing it to cope with tough site conditions. Meanwhile it is also designed for ease of maintenance and servicing, so as to reduce downtime.
