How are the 240’s holding up with the skidmore heads? We were back there almost two years ago looking into them.

Don’t have any experience with the skidmore heads. Mostly quadco hot saws or ponsse dangle heads

Here is our new LS855E felling machine.

 

[John C.]

Nice looking machine! It looks like top and side doors for access. That seems a little different than the Tigers I've seen in the past. What are you using for a felling head?

 

[Hallback]

Thanks John.
It has the tigercat 5195 felling head. It has a 43 inch bar saw on it and a 52 inch grapple.

 

[John C.]

That is big! Sounds like you will using the hand fallers a lot less.

Congrats on the new machine!

Looks sweet, any plans to tether it?

 

[Hallback]

Yes, my plan is to cut out hand cutting all together. I will run on slopes to 70% untethered and plan to tether up to 100%.
I am heading to the Tigercat factory next month to demo the new 890 shovel logger and plan on adding a Tigercat skidder to tether to also.

I had no idea that they would operate on that steep of a slope without being tethered. How far can the cab be tilted to some what level it up?

 

[Hallback]

I am unsure on the actual degree of tilt but I will get a photo of it tomorrow in Full Tilt.

who's hitch did you have welded on

 

[Hallback]

Tigercat has built their own hitches now. It is really a well built piece.

 

[Junkyard]

Does this count?

My oldest boy built it today. When I realized what he was building I figured this was the thread to stick it on!

 

[hvy 1ton]

He wasn't far off.

Nice build!

Nice countertops too!!

Thanks. He’s pretty good with stuff. Some is completely from scratch. I’ve been able to teach him a little about structure etc. He’s probably hopelessly following in my footsteps....

Who’s system are going to go with?
