New Tigercat 610C skidder sees increased horsepower and wheel base
PARIS ON, MAY 29, 2007 – Tigercat's mid-size 610 skidder has been
updated to the C-series with increased horsepower and wheel base for
class-leading payload capacity. The engine has been upgraded to a Cummins QSB6.7
delivering 142 kW (190 hp) at 2,200 rpm.
The frame has been lengthened by 100 mm (4 in) to improve weight
distribution and take better advantage of the new 1.21 m2 (13 ft2)
Tigercat dual cylinder grapple and the pulling power made possible by
Tigercat's revolutionary hydrostatic drive system.
Electronic engine control with automatic variable rpm and the
hydrostatic drive system combines to create a machine with excellent fuel
economy that delivers higher performance in
soft soil and tough terrain.
The 610C is a compact, quick skidder well suited to plantation thinning,
selective hardwood logging and lower volume final fell applications.
Tigercat skidders convey tree length logs to the deck at the lowest cost per ton
due to high machine availability, lower maintenance and fuel costs and high
payload capacity.
