Benefits
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) Offers the Best of Both Worlds
The CVT combines the efficiency of a direct-drive with the smooth operation of a hydrostatic drive, delivering efficient power and eliminating the need for gear shifting. This helps operators maintain desired speeds and maximizes productivity by easing the learning curve.
Easy Serviceability Increases Uptime
The skidders are designed for efficient maintenance with ground-level access to daily service points, swing-out coolers for easy debris cleaning, and detachable engine panels for wide-open access. These features, along with remote diagnostics and extended hydraulic filter intervals, help reduce downtime and prevent costly repairs.
All Day Productivity with More Comfort
The cab, designed by loggers for loggers, features 43 sq ft (4 m²) of window area and a 240-degree rotating seat to enhance visibility and reduce neck strain. Electrohydraulic joysticks offer customizable, fingertip control, while optional LED lights and a heated leather-trimmed seat boost comfort and productivity.
