The CT616 by Wildcat is a towable, self-powered unit that is able to turn a windrow 6` (1.8 m) high by 16` (4.9 m) wide. It features a 40" (101.6 cm) tip-to-tip drum diameter, and its 275-hp (205.1 kW) engine offers a maximum turning capacity of 3000 tons (2721.6 tonnes) per hour.

Drum engagement is easy with the electronically controlled, hydraulically engaged clutch drive system with dual reduction. The first reduction includes a high-efficiency synchronous belt drive system for low maintenance and long service life; the second reduction includes an enclosed oil bath 80-4 roller chain drive.
