Features

Why choose the JT580

The JT580 is designed for operators who need strong throughput, lower fuel use and better day-to-day process control. JT RecTec says the JT series combines reduced workload, maximum productivity and Turn-and-Go operation, while the machine’s compact design also supports quick and safe transport between job sites.

Rotor and process advantages

JT RecTec states that its patented rotor generation improves performance while handling material more gently. The rotor is designed to create a loose and voluminous windrow, reduce rotor speed by up to 30%, extend service life through dual-use rotor tools and cut consumption and wear costs by up to 25%.

Operating concept

The JT580 uses radio control and semi-autonomous functions to simplify operation. JT RecTec states that the machine can correct windrow position automatically via the patented control unit and work with pre-installed or application-specific programs, helping improve process consistency and reduce operator workload.
