The BTE “Beast” is a high performance off-track undercutter designed to clean switches and turnouts at 130 feet per hour — 2-4 ties per minute. Designed for any project, BTE Beast is available in 12-foot, 15-foot, or 18-foot bar. Each are equipped with a spoil removal wheel designed to clear spoils from the cut area allowing continuous cutting. The chain and removal wheel cut with maximum power.
