Comfort Harness
The completely new harness system is the result of numerous design studies and comprehensive practical tests. For the operator of a clearing saw, it constitutes the very best in ergonomic design and carrying comfort.
The load is spread over the shoulders and hips, thus appreciably relieving the burden on the spine. The wide padded straps at the sides are made of dermatologically acceptable cotton material and do not constrict the chest, thus ensuring optimum freedom of movement for easier operation without fatiguing. The patented adjustment is easy to use and the padded, anatomically shaped back plate cannot slip, even when mowing with a large swinging movement, thus ensuring additional safety.
