For Immediate Release: New Tigercat Zero
Tail-Swing Feller Buncher
Tigercat expands the track buncher line with zero tail-swing 822 for thinning
and selective-cut
PARIS, ON, March 13, 2002 – The new 822 feller buncher is a reliable
and long lasting feller buncher, capable of minimal impact in pine plantation
thinning and other selective-cut applications.
A zero tail-swing machine, the 822 feller buncher has unmatched service
access. A power operated retracting roof enclosure provides walk-up access to
the engine area. The pumps, valves, filters and heat exchangers are easily
accessed through swing-out doors in the rear of the machine.
The hydrostatically driven cooling fan directs debris away from the front of
the machine.
With 253 hp, tight-tuck boom geometry and Tigercat’s new ER boom system, the
822 is highly productive in intensive thinning applications.
The patent pending ER boom allows the machine operator to extend and retract
the boom on a horizontal plane smoothly and quickly using a single joystick.
Operators also appreciate the expansive, ergonomic cab and amazing right-side
visibility. A nearly full-length window provides real visibility to the rear, an
asset in tight thinning applications.
822 feller bunchers are currently operating in plantation pine applications
in the US southeast and selective-cut hardwood applications in central Ontario,
Canada.
