NEW TIGERCAT FOR HARPUR LOGGING

Harpur Logging owner, Robert Harpur, has just taken delivery of the first of the new E series Tigercat Levelling Harvesters into Southland. Robert’s new Tigercat is fitted with a Waratah HTH623C head and he has spec’d his machine with both Pine and Gum Rollers. Originally from a Pine operation, Robert went into Bluegum production felling and harvesting for export chip for Southwood Export out of Bluff several years ago. Although his new machine has been delivered into a Pine block, with another to follow soon, he will be back into Gum later in the year, and those steeper blocks will be a lot easier on the body now, along with plenty of power everywhere it’s needed. Climbing will be so much easier too, with those big traction motors and final drives under the new LH series machines, he says.
