Wacker Neuson’s 48-inch (8-foot) concrete ride-on trowels powered by the 57-hp liquid cooled Kubota gasoline engine with electronic fuel injection are ideally suited for concrete finishing. The CRT48-57K models are available with mechanical or power steer (PS) systems and were developed for the professional concrete finisher that historically purchased hydraulically powered models. The Kubota engine with its higher horsepower produces higher torque, and due to its liquid cooling and reserve power, is well suited for high load conditions in hot southern climates.
