Barko Introduces Model 930 Mulcher

Barko has engineered this next-generation machine with an efficient 305hp Cummins QSC 8.3L diesel engine (or optional 300 hp Deere 9.0L). It blends load-sensing hydraulic performance with the engine's high-torque/low RPM characteristics, to lower fuel costs, minimize component wear, and reduce engine noise levels by up to 50 percent.

The 930 Mulcher's purpose-built carrier features heavy plate front and rear framing, a robust center-joint section, and pins with double-tapered roller bearings. The carrier is sure footed, with a low center of gravity and balanced weight distribution. The 108-inch wheelbase provides a smooth ride, and the heavy-duty hydrostatic drive and full 90-degree articulation allow for excellent maneuverability.

Bandit's 3400 Gets Boost

Bandit's popular Model 3400 self-propelled, rubber-tracked, hydrostatic stump grinder is now available with 200 hp.

The 3400 still features a powerful, 305 Cat, rubber-tracked undercarriage that gives it the mobility needed to quickly reach difficult-to-reach stumps, even in soft and uneven ground conditions. And its unique cutter wheel drive, with a hydraulic planetary motor, is built in to the cutter wheel. This combination eliminates the need for belts, jackshafts, or transfer case drives. A radio remote controls all functions and increases operator comfort, while providing maximum visibility.

Deere's 909J and 959J Track Feller Bunchers

Loggers can experience a new level of performance with the introduction of John Deere's 909J and 959J track feller bunchers. With their four-way leveling system and increased operator control, these machines offer the combination of power and productivity.

Leveling is possible up to 26 degrees forward, 7 degrees rearward, and 14 degrees from side-to-side. Both models feature a Total Machine Control™ system that enables an operator to set the speed and acceleration of the tilt to match his application, terrain, and capabilities, while providing constant position feedback.

The machines provide outstanding saw blade power with quick recovery time and 294 SAE gross horsepower (219 kW). The hydraulically driven cooling fan optimizes horsepower and increases fuel efficiency, by running only when it's needed.

Tigercat's 822/L830 new to C-series

Tigercat has released the 822C/L830C series feller bunchers and harvesters designed with a number of enhancements.

The Tier III QSL9 produces 300 hp at 1,800 rpm, and the new, common rail fuel system improves engine reliability. The exhaust manifold hardware is rated for higher temperatures to prevent breakage and exhaust leaks.

Tigercat has improved the hydraulic driven cooling fan by adding thermostat control. Now the fan operates at automatic variable speed with an automatic purge cycle. The new 24-volt electrical system improves cranking ability in cold weather and provides better compatibility between the carrier and harvesting head attachments. Defrosting and defogging capabilities have been improved and the master disconnect is remote-mounted in the cab. The front door height has also been extended for better upward visibility.
