Weiler Forestry
The new Weiler Forestry S240 and S340 wheel skidders are designed with simplicity, performance, comfort and serviceability in mind, says the company.
Weiler says that the ’40 series will grow to include multiple size classes to satisfy all types of logging applications, from thinning to large scale final fell in the most severe and remote locations. Offering the largest operator cab in the market with industry leading visibility and best in class serviceability, the simple refined layout is a game changer for the forest industry, says the company.
Running a C7.1 Caterpillar engine and a continuously variable-speed hydrostatic ground drive makes operation simple and efficient. The ’40 series are lighter, well balanced nimble machines that have the power to get the load moving and can sustain pulling power over long distances.
Strong multi-functioning hydraulics improve productivity, allowing operators to steer and operate other functions simultaneously.
Tigercat
Tigercat says that its six-wheel skidders are field proven with 25 years of development and real-world applications in the most demanding extraction operations. The 635H is Tigercat’s highest capacity skidder. With six-wheel drive and a massive grapple, the machine is built for extreme duty and super high production logging operations. The 635H swing boom skidder is the newest addition to the six-wheel skidder line up. With a 210-degree rotation, the swing boom increases the working envelope of the skidder, which means the operator spends less time maneuvering the machine. Tethering device set-ups are reduced due to the wider working range. Dual rotate motors and a large swing bearing make gathering and moving bunches effortless on steep slopes, says Tigercat.
John Deere
Tougher than the terrain, more powerful than opposing forces—John Deere says that its range of L-II Series skidder sizes and options equip loggers with advantages in the woods. The machines‘ Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) combines the efficiency of a direct drive transmission with the smoothness and operating ease of a hydrostatic drive. Choose from a range of box-style tong grapples with serious power and stability. Plus, John Deere’s skidders are built on more than 180 years of groundbreaking innovation, and backed by over a half-century of experience in the woods.
Demonstrating its commitment to delivering top tier forestry equipment to create an unmatched customer experience, John Deere now offers extended transmission coverage, at no additional cost, through its skidder transmission assurance program. This new program provides coverage up to six years or 12,000 hours on all eligible skidder models, and helps to maximize the machine lifespan with warrantable transmission repairs and replacements. The assurance program applies to all qualified skidders built on or after January 1, 2020 and is transferrable to subsequent purchasers.
Awassos
Developed to meet the needs of those seeking a skidder comparable in size to the JD 440-B, the Awassos MD80 offers a modern design, a superior capacity, and much more, according to the company. With a reversible work station, a hydrostatic transmission, and a rugged cast iron chassis, it is described as the ideal machine for big jobs, without sacrificing the low impact benefits to the forest environment.
Awassos believes that forests are treasures to be preserved. This is why it strives to design and manufacture a line of forestry equipment that can handle challenging work situations, but are gentle in execution. It also offers additional options to equip its machines to accommodate various types of forestry work.
