Tigercat's 822/L830 feller bunchers and harvesters move to C-series
PARIS ON, JULY 6, 2006 – Tigercat has released the 822C/L830C
series feller bunchers and harvesters. Along with the new Cummins QSL9 Tier III
engine, Tigercat has designed a number of enhancements into this highly
acclaimed and widely sold series of feller bunchers and cut-to-length
harvesters.
The Tier III QSL9 produces 300 hp at 1,800 rpm and is very responsive. The
new common rail
fuel system improves engine reliability. The exhaust manifold hardware is rated
for higher temperatures to prevent breakage and exhaust leaks.
Tigercat improved the hydraulic driven cooling fan by adding thermostat
control. Now the fan operates at automatic variable speed with an automatic
purge cycle. The frequency of the purge cycle can be varied depending on operating
conditions. The heat exchanger size has been increased and is now common to the
the 860C/870C product line.
The new 24 volt electrical system improves cranking ability in cold weather and
provides better
compatibility between the carrier and harvesting head attachments. The machines
are standard equipped with a 24-12 volt converter to allow for 12 volt radios and
other accessories.
The primary machine functions are pilot controlled, providing the operator
with precise, responsive control and feedback of the tracks, swing and boom. Head functions are
electronically controlled for smooth, ramped operation that can
be tuned to the preference of the operator.
Boom base hose routings have been significantly improved and a swing-out
access door at the base of the boom has been added. Fuel tank capacity has been
increased from 490 to 530 litres. The optional bottom fueling system will be
much appreciated by L830C operators. A venting valve has been added to increase fill speed with bottom
fuelling.
Inside the redesigned cab, operators will notice that the defrosting and defogging
capabilities have been improved and that the master
disconnect is remote mounted in the cab. The front door height has been extended for better
upward visibility. The HID lighting package provides exceptional night
visibility.
