The forward-mounted cab and rear engine placement give the operator excellent visibility over the entire harvest area. The unique front entry cab allows for easy entry and exit and the cab tilts for servicing. The telescoping boom's V-shaped bottom extends the life of the wear pads and minimizes side-to-side movement as the boom telescopes in and out. Power Train Cat C6. 6 Engine Exceptional Power and Fuel Efficiency The Cat C6. 6 engine with ACERTTM Technology gives exceptional power and fuel efficiency, while meeting Tier 3, Stage IIIA emission requirements. This engine includes electronic governing, cold mode start strategy, automatic altitude compensation, electronic diagnostics and fault monitoring. Exceptional Cooling Capability A side by side antifreeze, hydraulic, and charge air cooling package allows efficient heat rejection. The cooling package is located away from the harvesting front where less debris and dust exposure minimizes cleaning requirements. Cold Climate Capability A thermal bypass in the hydraulic cooler line allows for quicker cold weather warm up of components by diverting oil back to the tank until the temperature of the oil requires cooling. An optional cold weather starting aid heats engine antifreeze and circulates it through the engine, hydraulic tank, and cab for easier start ups. Large Fuel Carrying Capacity The 378 L (100 gal) fuel capacity allows extended operating shifts and includes a lockable compartment lid for security. 3 Hydraulics Continuous, Reliable and Responsive Control Hydraulic Pump is Powerful, Responsive, Quiet Designed for continuous, efficient and reliable operation, the harvester's axial piston hydraulic pump meets stringent requirements for noise, efficiency, controllability and durability. Valves are Load Sensing, Pressure Compensated The valve system has proven reliability in forestry applications with its fuel efficient load sensing pressure compensated technology. Each section is designed specifically for the flow and pressure of the function, therefore optimizing machine functionality and fuel efficiency. This fuel economy is directly related to the complete combustion of fuel due to the integration between the electronic control that monitors conditions, the air management system that controls air volume and the fuel injection system that delivers the amount of fuel as needed. Designed for Forest Applications The undercarriages are specifically designed for harvesting applications, providing the strength and durability that allows for a long service life. Engine and hydraulic canopies are durable to withstand working in the woods, and their sloped designs allow for easy shedding of debris for simplified cleaning. Automatic Idle Down The harvester control system includes an automatic engine idle down feature to reduce fuel consumption during periods of inactivity. 8 Serviceability Rear Mounted Fuel and Hydraulic Tanks Easy to Maintain. Easy to Service. The fuel and hydraulic tanks are located within the counterweight, allowing the entire side of the machine to be opened to access the complete hydraulic system from pump to valves. Forward Tilting Cab The forward tilting cab allows easy access for under cab components and provides a platform for engine service. Easy Fluid Changes An electric refill pump to add oil into the hydraulic tank maintains system cleanliness by passing all oil through the filtering system. Boom Grease Lines Booms have grease lines extending from all pivot points down to the base of the main boom for on ground service. Hinged Covers The covers over the engine and hydraulic components open for easy access, and feature sloping surfaces for easy cleaning. Debris Shedding Track Frames The upper surfaces of the track frames are sloped for easier cleaning of dirt and debris. 9 Customer Support Ready to Help. Anywhere.
