5600 Bunching Saw

Overview

The 5600 series saw for drive-to-tree feller bunchers is best suited to pine and eucalyptus row thinning and clear fell applications with a stem diameter range of 205-500 mm (8-20 in).

Tigercat bunching saws increase the productivity of the entire harvesting system while reducing cost per tonne. Feller buncher productivity and efficiency improves because more trees are cut per cycle, reducing unnecessary machine travel. Skidder productivity and efficiency improves because the bunches are large, well aligned and easy to pick up.

Key Benefits

Improves both feller buncher and skidder productivity by increasing number of cut stems per cycle and by laying down tight, parallel aligned skidder bunchers
More cutting and less machine travel; the unique two-arm design allows more trees to be stored before stopping to dump the accumulated bunch
Twin post design with offset pocket for excellent visibility
Deep accumulating pocket places the load closer to the machine for improved stability
Cushioned cylinders for long life
Recessed saw blade and clever guarding reduce the throw angle and deflect chips downward, decreasing saw recovery time

Videos

WideRange: fifth row thinning

Realtime HD video from the operator's perspective of a 724E feller buncher equipped with WideRange™ drive in a fifth row thinning application. You will notice how much travel time makes up the cut cycle. WideRange equipped feller bunchers improve productivity because the machine has the capability to travel more quickly from tree to tree and to and from the bunch pile, reducing cut cycle times. The head is a 5600 bunching saw. Download in HD Download for mobile
