CAT FOR JAG

-

John and Adrian, from Jag Logging, have taken delivery of a new Cat 558GF forest machine for their operation in Canterbury. This is their second new Cat machine, which complement­s the 525D skidder purchased last year. The 558GF FM is fitted with a SATCO 323T processing head and has really stepped up production for the operation in Pidgeon Bay where the Cat has gone into a block with reasonable piece size and is eating the wood effortless­ly. John is very happy with the decision to go with a purpose-built Cat forest machine, based on the durability and versatilit­y it provides to their operation. The 558 will primarily be used as a processor, but also gives him the option to fell trees when needed. Matt Holloway, from Gough Cat, sold the machine.
