Overview

The 250E is suited to delimbing, merchandising and loading heavy, tree-length logs. The 250E can be equipped with a pull-through delimber, bar saw slasher, circle saw slasher or grapple saw for maximum flexibility.

Efficient hydraulics with swing priority and energy recovery deliver simultaneous power to all machine functions for high performance, response and fuel economy.

Service Made Simple

The large panel on the cab platform provides unmatched access to engine service points. The removable deck plates on the platform allows for easy access to hydraulic valves and hoses.

Powerful Boom System

Strong boom and powerful swing torque.

The new 250 series boom design is stronger and better able to handle the stresses of the most demanding pull through delimbing duty cycles. Cushioned boom cylinders provide smooth control. Through-tip grapple hose routing protects from damage.

Operating Environment

The new operator’s cab has 16% larger volume with increased width and more leg room.

Improved A/C and heater controls allows the operator to set the desired temperature for a more comfortable working environment. A climate controlled cupholder keeps drinks hot or cold for longer.

Dedicated storage areas include space for a full size Tigercat insulated lunchbox behind the seat.
