Undercutting Attachments
Undercutting is one of the most time-consuming and expensive maintenance operations MOW crews do—and it’s also among the most crucial.
When old ballast is contaminated with mud, dirt, and broken rock, poor drainage can lead to track instability, slowed operations, lost revenue, and major track problems that require complex and time-consuming repairs.
Proper undercutting solves drainage issues now and prevents bigger problems later. But efficiency is key—when you’re working with limited track time windows and every minute of downtime costs money in delayed traffic, you can’t afford to fight with temperamental attachments and unreliable machines.
That need for efficiency and durability informed BTE’s line of high-performance undercutting attachments, each custom-engineered to streamline operations and deliver maximum productivity.

Efficient Undercutting Starts With BTE
With innovative upgrades including long-lasting tungsten carbide bits and chains that cut in either direction for peak performance in tight quarters, BTE attachments are engineered to overachieve in undercutting applications.
Tamping Attachments
Proper tamping ensures that every tie has solid, even support holding up the track, all the way down the line. MOW crews tackling spot tamping tasks keep trains running at track speed and prevent more serious track problems from developing.
But tamping is another application that requires precision in tight timelines. Crews have limited windows to deliver even compaction, free of geometry defects and alignment deviations. So it’s crucial to use attachments that are purpose-built for quick, consistent tamping, even in hard-to-reach areas.
Precise and Powerful Tamping
BTE tamping attachments are engineered to be as powerful as they are operator-friendly, making quick, consistent compaction faster and easier, from switches and diamonds to bridge approaches and beyond.
Better With BTE Machines
Our undercutting and tamping attachments are engineered to pair with a wide variety of machines, but you’ll get peak performance with BTE’s upgraded excavators and backhoes. Available for lease or purchase, BTE machines offer Automatic Attachment Recognition for operator ease and deliver up to 30% more hydraulic flow than standard machines.
