Heavy Duty Digging Wheels
A heavy duty digging wheel featuring the industry’s largest diameter, segments, drivers, and truck assemblies. A larger wheel increases the carrying capacity of the wheel, provides more distance between the wheel and conveyor, and allows more time and distance for the dirt to exit the buckets and land on the conveyor, resulting in less carryover.
Advanced Cooling Systems
The machine cooling packages of the Buckeye 7240 are designed for severe-duty industrial applications, with variable speed and reversing fans providing efficiency and easy cleaning.
Operator-Friendly Controls
State-of-the-art control systems featuring responsive and interactive controls make the operating experience in the
Buckeye 7240 the best in the industry.
Application Specific Valve Blocks
A hydraulic system featuring these application specific engineered components reduces hoses, O-rings, and hundreds of connection points.
