Trackless MT6: 2008 – 2016
Production of the Trackless MT6 began in 2008. A number of modern improvements were added to the MT6 machine, including decreased fuel consumption, a variety of new safety features, and a new look for the cab. The MT6 was powered by a 115hp Cummins Model QSB4.5 engine with 360lbs of torque. A number of new attachments were also added to the Trackless Vehicles line-up with the MT6.
MT6 Operator Safety Features
A neutral safety start prevents the engine from starting unless shifted into neutral.
- A seat safety switch automatically shuts down the PTO shaft and any hydraulically powered attachment if the operator leaves the driver’s seat.
If the operator leaves the seat without placing the shifter into neutral, the engine will shut down.
Tractor has hydraulic brakes at each wheel. There is also a mechanical parking brake that can be applied if hydraulic brakes fail.
Cab is ROPS certified and there is a certification tag attached to the inside of the cab.
The tractor has reflective striping on both sides of cab and rear side hoods, as well as on the rear hood below the tail lights.
Tractor has a backup alarm activated by the forward / neutral / reverse lever.
The tractor has Safety, Danger, Caution and Pinch Point decals.
External lift cylinder switch controls the lift cylinders hydraulic flow which eliminates the need for a second person to operate the controls.
Orange seatbelt so supervisors at a quick glance can see if the operator is wearing it.
Seat belt interlock incorporates a safety interlock system which only allows the tractor to move when the seat belt is fastened.
