Description
The CHAMP 185 series delivers hydraulic powered strength and durability with easy to use controls to the 18” cutter market that is crowded with weaker electric motor powered machines. The CHAMP’s strong ¼” thick cold rolled steel weldment frame offers a superior design allowing operators to cut today’s hard stocks accurately in piles of up to 3.25” high.
Proudly manufactured at our factory in Michigan, the USA made CHAMP 185 cutter has wheels with lockable casters allowing the machine to easily be moved – even through standard 36” wide doorways.
