High specification machine with 5.5m reach
High specification machine for tractors over 70hp, with telescopic second arm and 6m reach
Contractors’ machine for tractors over 70hp with forward reach head for improved visibility

The Kompass range share a common chassis design which provides the strength required to mount the different arm options. In addition the KS600T has a 1m telescopic second arm offering compact dimensions in awkward situations, but larger machine capacity when required.
The KA550 features a hydraulically controlled parallel second arm which moves the cutting head in to the operator’s line of vision (1.2m forward + 1.2m back)
