The design uses a six-bar cam pickup to pull material onto the continuous belt. To achieve ground following a hydro-pneumatic system is split across the transport wheels and free-rotating pads under each bed allow the two wing sections to move independently of each other. Drive for the complete system is hydraulic using a self-contained hydraulic system powered from the pto. Six working modes are offered, which includes the option to spit the two beds and move material to the centre, increasing the overall working width to 10.60m and creating a 2.0m wide centre swath. Samasz plans to have a working machine in the UK for spring 2024, with retail prices starting from £80,000
