Abstract

According to the applicant's invention a load detector is used, in which a load sensor and a vibration sensor are combined using an AND gate. A load signal from the load detector is used for the feedback control of the cutter drum height and double ranging drum cutter running speed, so that a person who is not skilled can operate the double ranging drum cutter while preventing overload acting on the cutter drum.
