PERFORMANCE DATA

The volume of dirt removed is V = W x d x L, where W is the drum width, d is the depth of cut and L is the length of the shoulder worked on.

Example: 6' width x 0.5' depth x 5280' length = 15,840 cubic feet or 587 cubic yards

1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet = 46,656 cubic inches

The dirt removed per inch and per foot of depth and for a 100 foot long shoulder is:
Drum width (W)		40"	48"	60"	72"


	d = 1'	1	1.2	1.6	1.8	(cu. yd.)
Volume (V)
	d = 12'	12	14.5	19	22	(cu. yd.)

At the recommended advance speed of 4 MPH, the dirt removed per hour is:
Drum width (W)		40"	48"	60"	72"


	d = 1'	211	253	338	380	(cu. yd.)
Volume (V)
	d = 12'	2530	3060	4010	4650	(cu. yd.)
	At a rotor speed of 300 RPM, the tip of the digging tooth moves at 30 MPH.
