855E Feller Bunchers Video

Watch video of the Tigercat 855E track feller bunchers operating on two different job sites in North Carolina. One track cutter is using the Tigercat 5702 felling attachment to fell smaller diameter timber stands, where the other machine is using the Tigercat 5702-26 felling head to fell larger diameter timber. Both forestry machines are working in soft-ground applications. Download in HD
