Featuring 100% hydraulic drive (no PTO), self-aligning bearings for durability, a single elevator ram, protected motor drives hydraulic and electric components, the Combi RX² range is engineered to significantly reduce operating and maintenance costs. Plus, with the added convenience of central greasing as a standard feature, you’ll spend more time in the field and less time in the workshop.

3. Trouble-free Stepless Floor and Load Dividing Design

The Hustler Combi range features a flat floor design that ensures a smooth transition between the unique, 2-speed chainless rear bed floor and cross floor, eliminating any spillage of maize/corn silage between them.

This innovative design prevents downtime caused by root crops bending bars and jamming the rear bed floor. With no staged floors, you’ll enjoy ample ground clearance, making operation in rough terrain a breeze. Take a closer look at the internal bin design, exclusive to the Hustler Combi RX² range, and appreciate its simplicity. The proven dividing system effectively reduces loads and stresses on drives, motors, shafts, and the floor, significantly extending the wagon’s working life.

With its unique and improved drawbar design, the RX² Range provides industry-leading clearance and enhanced maneuverability. This design minimizes the risk of damage to gate posts or the machine itself, offering operators a hassle-free experience. In fact, the RX148² boasts a remarkable turning circle of 7.8 meters (23 feet), while equivalent-sized wagons require 20.8 meters (65.6 feet)!

5. Unmatched Visibility

With industry-leading visibility on the load behind, feeding out perfect feed rows has never been easier, putting you in control.

The Hustler Combi RX² range offers see-through visibility on the bin and the elevator thanks to openwork panels. The ability to see the entire load from the comfort of your seat and the addition of new elevator spill panels allows you to see precisely how much feed you carry and how much is coming up the elevator, resulting in improved feed control and operator safety.
