CaterpillarŪ 311C
Caterpillar recently introduced the 311C Utility Hydraulic Excavator. The 311C

also has a 15-inch smaller tail swing radius than the 311B. The excavator is
powered by a CATŪ 3064 turbocharged, four-cylinder diesel engine. It's designed
for high torque rise at medium speeds, making it more fuel efficient and weighs
in at 26,410 pounds. In addition, its front linkage operation accommodates two
different sticks and five different buckets. For more information contact your
local dealer or log onto their website at www.cat.com.
Timbco 380 & 385 Harvesting
Attachments
In the Spring of 2001, Partek Forest acquired the Rosin line of heavy harvesting
heads. The Rosin heads were designed conceptually similar to Valmet's line of
heads - the 945, 960, and  965
- except they were larger and bigger. After some upgrading and refining of the
Rosin product, Partek Forest is now introducing the North American built Timbco
380 and 385 single-grip harvesting attachments. Both heads incorporate many
features similar to the Valmet heads. But they are also built for heavier duty
work. "What's different with the Timbco heads are the generally larger
dimensioned components and larger feed-motors required for the heavy harvesting
conditions experienced in some areas of North America", says Tim Lee,
Product Manager, Attachments for Partek Forest in Gladstone, Mich. "These
heads are primarily designed for attachment to Timbco rubber-tired or tracked
carriers, but are available for other excavator type carriers as well". For

Bandit's 24" Whole Tree
Chipper
Bandit has added a 24" diameter capacity unit, Model 2400, to  their
line of whole tree chippers. The 2400 can produce approximately 100 tons of
chips per hour, depending on the quality and size of material being processed.
The hydraulic five wheel feed system consists of two horizontal and two vertical
wheels with an added top wheel set on a diagonal. The extra wheel nearly doubles
the feed wheel surface area that comes in contact with the wood making it easier
to feed large trees as well as short, blocky material. For more information
