H-Series Drive-to-Tree Feller Bunchers
Next generation Tigercat feller bunchers come with major upgrades for the operator.
The primary differentiator between the three models is engine horsepower. When equipped with the Tigercat FPT N67 Tier 4f engine, the 720H is rated at 203 hp (151 kW), the 724H is rated at 246 hp (183 kW), and the 726H is rated at 285 hp (212 kW).
The common operator’s cabin has been completely redesigned with increased interior volume, resulting in more legroom, additional storage and a roomier feel. Operator sightlines have been improved with a front windshield that is 27% larger and rear quarter windows that are 40% larger. Visibility is further augmented by the dual camera rearVIEW system. For upward visibility, the skylight is 40% larger and installed directly on a ¾ in (20 mm) forward sloping roof plate to easily shed debris. The operator can easily access the outside of the front window area for cleaning.
Simplified joysticks with programmable buttons allow the operator to customize controls for the clamp and accumulator arms, saw, differential locks, and drive functions. The roof-mounted A/C system, common with the 600H series skidders, improves cooling performance and comfort.
Another major change for the H-series feller bunchers is a new hydraulic system option. Loggers will now have the choice of the tried-and-true gear pump system, or the new piston pump load sense system for improved multifunctioning. Both system choices maintain the use of pilot operated joysticks for boom and steer control. New in-tank hydraulic filtration extends service intervals up to 2,000 hours.
Maintenance and service improvements include a larger engine air filter, a more conveniently located manual fuel fill port, an optional ground level fueling system and improved access to the hydraulic pumps and electrical systems.
