CFD at FOREXPO 2025
TCi dealer for France, Cuoq Forest Diffusion puts on first-class display of premium quality harvesting equipment at France forestry event.
The 1055D earned praise from French forwarder operators looking for improvements in durability, performance, and visibility. Replacing the 1055C, it is the first model in the Tigercat forwarder lineup to feature a completely redesigned operator’s cabin, new bunk and gate configurations, expanded crane options, and numerous other enhancements. With production set to begin later this year, the 1055D is expected to make a strong impact in the European market and other forestry regions around the world.
Other products on display included the TCi 1165 harvester, along with two TCi 612 skidders. One of the skidders was configured with the dual winch system and a telescopic crane, while the other was equipped with the prototype swing boom system engineered, manufactured and installed by CFD. This system offers customers working in sloped or soft ground conditions a productivity advantage over traditional grapple skidders, allowing the operator to gather scattered timber to build a large bunch with less machine travel and manoeuvring before extracting to roadside.
In addition, Tigercat Industries’ forestry machine simulator was a major highlight. Fair attendees got the chance to virtually operate a TCi forwarder, wheel harvester, track feller buncher, or track processor, to get a feel for the capabilities of this innovative training tool firsthand.
Tigercat Industries sent a dedicated team of sales and engineering professionals to support CFD at this well-attended three-day event. It attracted nearly 30,000 visitors from France and neighboring European countries, generating significant interest in TCi products.
Special thanks go to Cuoq Forest Diffusion for an outstanding level of hospitality, keeping guests well fed and hydrated during the extremely hot days. The event was a great opportunity to interact with forestry professionals from France, as well as other countries including Spain, Italy, Germany and Portugal, to learn more about industry needs in the dynamic European forestry sectors.
