tigercats new skidder

[Firewoodjoe]

Guys that run mulchers on these and Tigers say it is one bad combo.  

I want that but with a fixed harvester head 🤤🤤

Tigercat has done the 570 head in a fixed version.
Story - cutting near roads and power lines.

Tigercat LH822D "Blade runner'

Not sure the blade/ dirt technique on the slope/ terrain 'would fly' with the environmental officials in many places.

New Niche Skidder - Tigercat

That's a nice machine, finally the euro skidders are coming to the US market. Still a big machine at 18750kg / 41340lbs but only 2.85cm/ 9ft4" wide, which is a great width for thinnings

here is the link to the specs

Yep, it's nice to see a Euro style machine here. It is a big girl, though.

[mudfarmer]

and it has center oscillation like we were talking about in the other thread!

I guess you would have to use it as a high grading machine to afford it, since it comes with "climate controlled cupholders" and a bunch of wifi/gps stuff built-in?

Step in the right direction, now make it smaller and bare bones ;D

[barbender]

Yes I'd like it more bare bones, to. But I'll say this- the times I did a lot of hand falling and bucking when running forwarder, it sure was nice to jump in that air conditioned cab and get to cool off while I picked up what I had just cut👍

[ehp]

A machine setup like the picture shoukd be very close to $500,000  in Canada once tax is added in so that is very closely and I know would not work in my area cause not enough real good timber to pay for it .  In most cases with that crane part added on the price would be more than that . A new 620 was $403,000  here late last fall and thst was with no tax or sent to uour job site

[ehp]

I'm not sure if many of us could swing those kind of payments other than Barge and Barbender cause both are very rich unlike me cause I know I'm forsure not rich. Just going thru the drive thru at McDonald's and wondering if I can afford to Super size my fries is my limit

[barbender]

 Putting me in the same category as Barge, you've got me all wrong ehp😂

 Whenever I'm able to score a piece of equipment, it is because of what one banker referred to as "financial maneuvering", and not a wealth of resources 😂😂

 As slick as it would be, I honestly don't know how one would ever afford a skidder like that. I'd think you'd have to be in nice timber and have 3 hand cutters. Most places you'd have to be putting 50 cords plus a day on the landing, I would think. 

 Personally, if I was handcutting (for the type of wood we have around here) I'd want a decent forwarder, and a cable skidder. I have the cable skidder, and if I was loaded like Barge I'd have the forwarder already, too😁

[ehp]

Barbender , you and Barge are such modest people  trying to never really show your wealth . Just like Barge you both have tons of machines and newer one coming every week and your right . I'm jealous plain and simple 

[beenthere]

And we know ehp is equally as wealthy (and modest).  

[barbender]

With the price of chainsaws these days, ehp usually has more than my net worth riding around in the back of his truck😁

[teakwood]

Good one barbender  :D :D :D

[barbender]

😁😁😁

[ehp]

Boy your ideas just do not add up to real life  ;D, that new skidder is pretty big in size and would be hard to drive around in the bush here , our trees are just to close together and I'm sure just like my buddy that has a 648 with 24.5 by 32 tires on it set the narrow way it spends lots of time upside down skidding , very unstable on its feet

 No Rockstar here, just trading my soul for shiny objects, slavery hasn't went away, it's all colors now. My GF's full time again as an assistant manager at TSC, we get a 15% discount, that's the level of cheap I am 😆. They basically went thru and fired the ENTIRE store. Told my employer to leave me on 1 boat, 6on 2 off, escape from this place "Shawshank style". 
Ed they aren't bad but yeah it's tippy, I've seen this one 4 wheels in the air. I've gotta have a "small" skidder, 648 is a razorblade compared to my 460-620, only reason it's coming back.
