Tigercat 1800 bunching shear

Tigercat's innovative line of patented bunching shears, significantly improves system productivity in high volume pulpwood 
plantation applications. 
For pulpwood applications, the bunching shear is a simple, low maintenance, low-cost alternative to disc saw felling heads and preferable in rocky terrain conditions.
The 1800 bunching shear is designed for drive-to-tree feller bunchers and best suited to the 718E and 720E models for first and second thinning applications where the maximum diameter is under 460 mm (18 in).
Cutting capacity

Benefits

The industry's hardest shear blades. They can be switched and flipped to balance wear.
More cutting and less machine travel. The unique 2-arm design allows more trees to be stored before stopping to dump the accumulated bunch.
Twin post design with offset pocket for excellent visibility.
Cushioned cylinders for long life.
Deep accumulating pocket places the load closer to the machine for improved stability.
Improves both feller buncher and skidder productivity by increasing number of cut stems per cycle and by laying down tight, parallel aligned skidder bunchers.
