A forwarder is a vehicle that carries logs from the stump to a roadside landing. Unlike a skidder, a forwarder carries logs clear of the ground, which can reduce soil impacts but tends to limit the size of the logs it can move. Forwarders are typically employed together with harvesters in cut-to-length logging operations.
Bobcat® expands its line of hydraulic breaker attachments with the HB280 and HB2380. The HB280 is a smaller version of current Bobcat hydraulic breakers, the HB2380 is a larger model that brings the breaker line into the 1,000 foot-pound impact energy class.
The Tigercat 1065 is a heavy-duty 18-tonne forwarder. The 1065 forwarder has strong frames, large pins and steer cylinders and a durable center section with tapered roller bearings in the articulation and oscillation joints.
The Timbco TF800 Series hydroskidder forwarder has a 20ton capacity and is powered by a 260hp engine with hydrostatic drive. The biggest advantage, the company says, is the high capacity loader with continuous swing. Being able to work over the front is another big advantage when working on rough ground, repairing skid trails or loading trucks.
