Innovative Saw Unit

Dual Cylinder Grapple

High Torque, High Rotation

Overview

The 5185B is a versatile and customizable fixed wrist bar saw head. It effectively fells and controls large diameter timber while performing additional duties like topping, limbing and shovel logging. The 5185B is a great asset in high value hardwood stands.

Innovative Saw Unit

The Tigercat 750RP saw unit with a 240-degree bar feed angle enables single-side back cuts, reducing machine travel and soil disturbance.

Variable bar feed force control adapts to varying diameters and species.

The 5185B is standard equipped with a hydraulic chain tensioner with an optional manual tensioner.

Dual Cylinder Grapple

The dual cylinder grapple arm design provides maximum control when falling and grappling high-value timber.

The grapple-style arm design enables superior grip and excellent performance in selective felling and shovel logging applications.

High Torque, High Rotation

The high torque wrist enhances control falling of large diameter timber. 340-degree rotation reduces machine travel for improved fuel efficiency and track life, while allowing the operator to cut large limbs and tops with ease.

The hydraulic hoses are well protected with through-tip hose routing.
