FAE Introduces SAE Universal Attachment Plate for the RCU75
FAE just released the SAE universal attachment plate for its RCU75 remote-controlled tracked carrier. This new plate not only allows the RCU75 to be equipped with FAE attachments, but also third-party equipment designed for skid steers.
With the SAE universal attachment plate, operators can now benefit from the use of attachments, such as:
- forestry mulchers
- swinging hammer mulchers
- stump cutters
- stone crushers
- road planers
- chippers
- sprayers
- forestry winches
- sweepers
- mixing buckets
- lifting forks
- dozing blades
- disc trimmers
- trenchers and more
According to FAE, the RCU75 is designed to work in hard-to-reach areas or on steeply sloping terrain where operator safety and operating efficiency are a concern. The RCU75 excels at working in hilly and wooded areas and near railroad tracks, power lines, gas and oil pipelines, gardens, roads, highways, canals, rivers and lakes.
From the press release:
The FAE tracked carrier relies on the compact and powerful Rehlko (Kohler) 74-hp common rail electronic fuel injection engine, a fuel-efficient option that complies with the most stringent emission standards. The heavy-duty undercarriage has a variable hydraulic design with independent rollers and an automatic tensioning system. High profile rubber tracks, with 86-mm spacing and 320-mm width, and idler wheels, enable the RCU75 to handle even the most challenging conditions. High-tech solutions give the RCU75 unbeatable traction, making it possible to work on steep slopes up to 55 degrees. Additionally, a steel track option is available, ensuring outstanding traction on particularly challenging terrain.

The RCU75 boasts a dual hydrostatic transmission, which allows the machine to maintain performance while using the tracks and attachment simultaneously. The company said this integrated technological system consists of electronically controlled piston pumps combined with a dedicated electronic control unit. This results in a high-performance, reliable machine that’s easy to operate.
FAE’s RCU75 is operated using a remote control that features comprehensive controls and a balanced shoulder strap. A large 4.3-in. display and customizable function keys provide operators superior management of all vehicle and head functions. The company noted that 2.4 GHz transmission frequency ensures reliable communication.
The press release also said the RCU75 can be paired with the FAE app. This allows owners and operators to access real-time operational data, diagnostic notifications and scheduled maintenance indications on their smartphones.
