Knox Kershaw Inc.: Model KKA 1000 Kribber Adzer

Knox Kershaw Inc.


NEWLY REDESIGNED FOR 2014! Designed for continuously clearing out cribs and adzing ties in the tie plate area, the KKA 1000 Kribber Adzer features an automatic speed control that slows the crawler speed when a resistance to cutting is detected. Automatic cutting depth control is provided by hydraulic cylinder-actuated skids that ride in the plate cut area of the tie. A sturdy slider box-mounted adzer head is actuated by hydraulic cylinders for horizontal and vertical movements, and is precisely controlled from the cab. A vacuum/cyclone system is provided to remove dust and debris, and a fire-suppression system is available. The wide cab has a comfortable seat and ergonomically positioned controls.
