The CX17B also features a retractable undercarriage, allowing the machine to pass through a 39-inch opening, and boom that is nearly 6 inches longer than that of its predecessor, resulting in a larger working envelope. A new three-post ROPS is designed to make access to the operator’s station easier and to enhance visibility.
