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 ofthe Buckeye 7340 are designed for severe-duty industrial applications, with variable speed and reversing fans providing efficiency and easy cleaning.
Operator-Friendly Cab
A quiet, comfortable cab with state-of-the-art control systems featuring responsive and interactive controls makes the operating experience in the Buckeye 7340 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.
