THREE CATS & TWO WOODSMAN PROS FOR KURU

The Cat 538LL and 568LL purpose-built forest machines in the left photo are the latest acquisitions for Ricky and Leanne Kuru for their East Coast operations. The top-of-the range Cat 568LL features a Woodsman Pro850 head, making for a powerful combo to get through the big wood in the region, while the 538LL and its Ensign 1730 grapple has been put to work on fleeting and loading duties. The units are pictured with operators, Paul Leota (538LL) and Jaz Kuru (568LL). They’ve been joined in the Kuru Contracting operation by a new Cat 552 Series 2 harvester with a Woodsman Pro1350 felling head, pictured right with operator Tony Hill at the controls. Heath Stewart, from Gough Cat, sold the machines.
