Tigercat H250B for roadside processing applications
The H250B processor offers exceptional value with its low capital cost, strong structure, high performance and low operating costs.
PARIS ON, JANUARY 23, 2008 – In 2007 Tigercat developed the H250B,
a dedicated processor carrier designed for roadside processing applications as well as light duty in-woods harvesting.
The machine is currently being marketed worldwide with units sold and operating
in such diverse areas as the US, Uruguay, South Africa and Australia.
The H250B was developed from the T250B loader platform and offers
harvesting contractors a lower cost alternative to Tigercat’s 800 series harvesters
while providing superior productivity in roadside processing applications compared to excavator conversions.
The H250B is powered by a turbocharged and aftercooled Tier III Cummins QSB6.7 engine, delivering 153 kW (205 hp) at
1,800 rpm. The high horsepower ensures that the carrier can operate the processing attachment to its full capacity,
providing greater productivity. The lower engine rpm reduces fuel consumption
as well as noise levels.
According to H250B designer Trevor Scott, the hydraulic system is tailored for processing
applications. The hydraulic pump and valves can provide 360 L/min (95 gpm) of flow and up to 290 bar
(4,200 psi) pressure to the attachment. "The engine power ensures that the carrier can
deliver high flow and high pressures simultaneously and maintain processing performance levels under tough
conditions," Scott explains. "The load sense valves and pumps provides a system that can save fuel by delivering
only the pressure and flow required by the functions."
Hydraulic hoses and tubes have been sized to handle the high flow required by these attachments and
to provide low pressure drop at these levels. This results in added performance and productivity or reduced fuel consumption. Clean, neat routing of hoses and boom tubes reduces the chances of damage.
Specifically designed for processing applications, the boom system provides a
9,68 m (31 ft 9 in) reach and a lift capacity suitable for attachments weighing up to
4 000 kg (8,800 lb). The boom geometry also allows for convenient machine
transport.
The D6 undercarriage, upper assembly and cab are all designed for forestry use, offering greater strength and durability than excavator conversions without the need for additional guarding or protection.
High capacity cooling ensures that engine and hydraulic oil temperatures remain cool even under
extreme conditions, extending the life of major components.
