HIDROMEK HMK600MG

The HMK 600 MG has 8 forward and 8 reverse gears and can be steered with the steering wheel or the joystick. Travel direction is changed with the FNR button on the joystick (140kV - 160kV), steering can also be controlled by tilting the joystick left or right, and the joysticks also control the blade. Automatic gear selection and cruise control improve driving comfort.

The Mercedes engine of the HMK 600 MG, with variable horsepower (187 - 214 KS) and Stage IIIA (Tier III) emissions, is durable in demanding conditions; variable horsepower aims at higher efficiency and lower fuel consumption. The hydrostatic cooling fan runs at variable speed according to engine temperature and reverses automatically to clean the cooling system. Hydraulic pressure is easy to set thanks to a closed-centre electro-hydraulic valve fed by a variable-displacement piston pump, giving the right power for attachments, and load sensing matches hydraulic flow to the task, reducing heat and power losses.

The newly designed hexagonal cab of the HMK 600 MG gives the operator a wide field of view, and a 7" TFT display lets the operator control the machine comfortably, check the data to be monitored and see the rear camera image when reversing.

The strong frame of the HMK 600 MG was developed with computer simulations and field tests; its advanced design improves the machine's service life and durability.

The HMK 600 MG performs well in levelling, mixing, grading, digging and ploughing snow and ice in winter. The standard blade is 3.7 m long, with 4.01 m and 4.31 m options. A clutch system absorbs sudden heavy impacts on the blade and prevents damage: the clutches on the circle drive slip over each other when large forces act against the blade. Two blade accumulators improve blade power and make the operator's work easier by absorbing sudden vertical blade impacts.
