Fecon has introduces a Tier-4 Stage-5 compliant mulching tractor, the FTX200  which includes the Fecon Power Management System for unrivaled power and performance. The newest addition to their family of Forestry Mulchers is designed from the ground up, with design influence from the very popular FTX600, giving it big tractor features in a more compact package. This low-ground pressure (4.2 psi) tractor features an oscillating undercarriage with 20" track shoes, providing balanced traction and impressive handling on all ground conditions.  A spacious cab features a panoramic view, air suspension and a heated seat for operator comfort.  A larger touchscreen IQAN display, a large rear-view camera display mounted in line-of-sight on the front grid window, and keyless ignition with security, are provided for performance and control.  With a unique combination of power, durability, size and production capability, the Fecon FTX200 is ideal for projects in R.O. W., urban interface, and

Fecon has introduced a new family of stout deck mulcher attachments that are wider than conventional deck mulchers, providing more productivity per pass, even in the most demanding environments. Ruggedness and dependability are built in, to enhance performance, service life, and safety.  A robust bearing carrier houses a heavy-duty bearing with an oversized shaft.  Specially designed two-sided blades effectively double their service life without having to flip the blade.  A stump-jumper feature allows the Deck Mulcher to ride over stumps without risking bolt shearing; the extra blade mass also increases cutting inertia and enhances performance in thicker materials.  New Fecon Deck Mulchers can mulch smaller materials faster than traditional drum mulchers, making them ideal for right-of-way clearing and maintenance projects, forestry clearing, site preparation, land improvement, highway mulching and maintenance, urban interface, and more. Forged blade bolts are 11% larger and feature

The 1165 is a mid-sized harvester well suited for thinning, selective cut and final fell applications. With strong swing and leveling capabilities that exceed the competition, the 1165 is well suited for steep slopes. The machine is available in both six-wheel and eight-wheel drive configurations. Powered by the Tigercat FPT N67 engine, the 1165 provides full emissions compliance for Tier 4 final regions, along with excellent fuel economy, all in a simple and reliable package. Both Tier 4f and Tier 2 options deliver 210 kW (282 hp) at 2,000 rpm. The 1165 wheel harvester uses the same swing components as the larger 1185, as well as oscillating and articulating centre section components used on Tigercat forwarders. The new active oscillation balancing technology provides unparalleled machine stability even while travelling. This allows crane operation while driving, thus increasing productivity. The patented long reach ER crane is energy efficient and provides the same action as a par

Forestry Utilizing invaluable customer feedback, John Deere is rolling out increased options on its G-Series forestry swing machines, to help lower daily operating costs, boost productivity, and increase uptime. New updates, including improvements to the machine design and the addition of more standard features, provide loggers with a streamlined, reliable machine. "To take a good machine and make it better, we knew we needed to go to our customers. Their input has helped us engineer the best equipped swing machines to handle the daily demands loggers face," said Jarvis De Groot, product marketing manager, John Deere Construction & Forestry. "The new forestry swing machines were designed to increase uptime and reliability, even when navigating harsh and challenging terrain." The improved machine design includes changes to the boom and arm cylinder guards, hood, and underdecking. Additionally, the larger undercarriage offered on the 3754G and 3756G swing machi

The new Tigercat power clam grapple series is designed for use on the 875 and 880D loggers. The three models – PC08, PC10 and PC12 – are sized for load capacities of 0.8 square metres (8 square feet), 0.9 square metres (10 square feet) and 1.1 square metres (12 square feet). Using fatigue-resistant welded construction, Tigercat power clam grapples feature durable box-style tongs fabricated from high strength steel. All weld-on tine tips are made from abrasion-resistant steel and can be replaced. The jaw profile rolls the logs into the grapple to quickly achieve a full load capacity. The profile is also designed to grip a single 150-mm (6-inch) diameter stem when completely closed. The power clam is available with an optional powered outrigger that provides exceptional control of various-sized trees. It has a tapered tong profile and a large 45-degree sweep and is controlled by a cylinder with the same rod and bore diameters as the jaw cylinders. Routing the hoses over the boom and u
