easily without unnecessary damage to the environment,” Eco Log said. “Our harvesters boast a long list of standard and user- friendly features, including the remarkably spacious and comfortable cab with its panoramic view, air conditioning and ergonomically designed seating and joy stick controls.”

levelling action is the machine’s ability to always maintain full swing torque. The advantage of the dual pump system is that all functions of the crane can be used in conjunction with the harvester head. The new series harvester cranes have been analysed and internally designed for the D series leading to an 11% improvement of lifting capacity, amended design of the linkage between the main and stick booms, and internal and external reinforcement plates that enhance the strength and durability. The top model – the Eco Log 590D – with 330 bhp Mercedes- Benz motor, 6WD, a ground clearance of up to 1.29 m when needed and an 11.5 m long boom make this harvester the obvious
undercarriage components and cooling systems are based on Tigercat’s established and respected feller buncher designs. Consequently, Tigercat harvesters have established an industry- leading reputation for durability, machine availability and longevity. In addition, Tigercat is

choice for tackling serious CTL applications. The advantage of the side-mounted boom configuration and swing cab renders unmatched visibility and ease of operation to the operator, the cabin can rotate up to 280° therefore limiting machine movements and reducing fuel consumption. “This powerful crane lets you position the unit quickly and

IQAN-MDL are connected via CANbus for the best response and efficiency. CabsWin is a Windows- based control and measuring unit which is certified for use in the StaNforD system. Thanks to the PC based hardware a number of features such as GPS and internet connection can be easily added. Each model has been optimised for running a Log Max single-grip harvesting head. The 590D can handle the 7000C (1.619 t) with a cut capacity of up to 900 mm (34.5 in). Reliability, power, serviceability and easy access make the Eco Log harvesters an industry leader.
Canadian technology expert and harvesting supplier, Tigercat, builds a full range of track harvesters used in roadside and in-stand felling and processing applications throughout the world. All track harvesters are purpose built for full-time extreme forest duty. Structural elements,
developing a line of wheeled harvesters. The first production machine, which is seeing excellent market acceptance in Sweden, is the 1135 thinning harvester. Tigercat’s zero tail-swing
harvester products are the H822C and LH830C. These 300 hp harvesters are extremely capable in row thinning and final felling applications. The LH830C is equipped with a super-duty R7- 150L levelling undercarriage with FH400 components for steep terrain applications.
The H845C and LH845C models, meanwhile, are equipped with a 260 hp Cummins engine and a short tail-swing, striking a good balance between manoeuvrability, machine stability and component access. Both the H845C and H845C harvesters are available with two-piece or telescopic ER boom systems. Tigercat also recently released the 880 logger. This machine can be configured as a loader shovel logger or processor and can be matched to the largest sized harvesting heads.
