Tigercat Builds New M724D Mulcher

Prototype M724D mulcher goes to work in north Florida

PARIS, ON, January 14, 2003 – Tigercat plans to offer a 240 hp M724D mulcher to complement the larger 425 hp M760. The prototype M724D recently went to work in north Florida on a 2,800 acre (1,133 ha) tract comprised mainly of of 4-8 in. (10-20 cm) pine. 

Initial field evaluations have been very positive especially when compared with machines competing in the same horsepower class.

The M724D is standard equipped with the FECON BH250H Bull Hog but the flexible hydraulic system can be tailored to accept various horizontal drum cutters requiring 200 hp (149 kW.)

Based on the 724D feller buncher, the Tigercat M724D also has the capability to power a felling head. This versatility should be appealing to loggers looking to expand into the lucrative land clearing industry without having to purchase additional dedicated machinery.

Other aspects of the machine are common to the 724D feller buncher. The M724D is equipped with Tigercat's cross-flow cooling system, luxury operator's station, heavy duty boom system and front axle Tigercat-tough construction throughout.
