A logging crew was clearcutting a steep tract in the Appalachians. The feller-buncher, facing straight downhill, would cut trees on the way down a very steep slope and then would back up the hill for the next tree.
In response to common productivity and operational challenges throughout the logging industry, John Deere has introduced new Autoshift functionality on its popular line of H-Series Skidders.
Caterpillar Forest Products announced enhancements to improve durability and performance of the Cat HF201 and HF221 felling heads for track feller bunchers. Both heads are available in partial or full tilt configurations.
The John Deere 900 K-Series Tracked Feller Bunchers pack plenty of power. The largest, the 953K and the 959K, come with an industry-first 330-hp engine standard, while the smaller 903K and 909K have dual power options at 300 hp and 330 hp, respectively.
