Joystick controls with many programmable features reduce operator training time and increase production.
Contour Mapping automates the height of the carriage relative to the ground as it travels along the slope. The operator sets mapping points defining the height of the carriage along the path. The electronically controlled winches use the resulting contour map to precisely direct the carriage along the specified path.
In addition, the operator can define a set point at the extraction zone, and send the carriage to that position at the touch of a button.
Purpose-built winches use dedicated closed loop hydraulic circuits.
Run any winch at any speed, any time and in any direction with smooth operation.
Electronic winch control allows for automated movement of the carriage. This decreases operator fatigue, and reduces the risk of damage resulting from the carriage contacting the ground.
With a large footprint undercarriage and an integrated anchoring blade, the 180 is exceptionally stable. In some high deflection, short distance yarding applications, it may be possible to operate without guylines for reduced setup time and added flexibility.
However Tigercat recommends the use of guylines for additional stability. The machine can swing 90 degrees to each side with guylines attached.
