X42 consists of three sensors that measure the position of the boom, stick, and bucket together with an Operator's interface – the GX40 control box. Together they create a simple and extremely durable system that provides visual verification of the position of the boom, stick, and most importantly bucket, real-time, right in front of the operator. All while leaving the operator in complete control of the machine at all times. X42 will save you time and money by getting you to grade fast and keep you there, accurately, even in blind or underwater applications.

With the X42 you have the flexibility to use a wide array of references to work from: existing surface, a hub, a previous cut, or a rotating laser using the optional LS-B10W laser receiver. It's as simple as choosing your reference and entering a cut and/or slope depth.

The key to the X42's versatility is Topcon's GX-40 control box. Featuring a 5” high-resolution, high-contrast color LCD and simple icon driven software interface, the operator “sees” bucket position, final grade, and the distance of the bucket teeth from it at all times, clearly and reliably. There's even an optional remotely positionable light bar grade indicator for added convenience.
