FAE has expanded its RCU range with the RCU120 for remote control mowing and brush cutting
The RCU120 is a remote controlled tracked carrier designed to work in hard-to-reach areas or on steeply sloping terrain where operator safety is a concern, such as in hilly and wooded areas and near railroad tracks, power lines, gas and oil pipelines, gardens, roads, highways, canals, rivers and lakes.
This new FAE tracked carrier has a Kohler 120hp (89kW) common rail electronic fuel injection engine and the heavy-duty undercarriage has a variable hydraulic design with independent rollers and an automatic tensioning system.
Its high-profile rubber tracks with 86mm spacing and 320mm width means the RCU120 can handle difficult conditions, such as steep slopes up to 55°. In addition, a steel track option is available.

The dual hydrostatic transmission of the RCU120 makes it easier to manage traction and the attachment simultaneously, FAE says. It is controlled with a wireless remote, with a large 4.3″ display for management of all vehicle and head functions and customisable function keys.
The RCU120 is the first FAE compact remote-controlled tracked carrier to be outfitted with a Sonic technology-integrated forestry mulcher. This exclusive FAE technology allows for better management of equipment performance, for a productivity increase of up to 30 per cent, it says.
The RCU120 FAE carrier can be equipped with FAE forestry mulchers, stump cutters, stone crushers and road millers. Thanks to its SAE connection, the RCU120 can be equipped with third-party equipment as well.
Finally, the FAE RCU120 can be paired with the FAE app, allowing users to access diagnostic notifications, scheduled maintenance indicators, and primary operating parameters in real time via their smartphone.
