TIGERCAT’S NEW 880 SERIES LOGGER IS A MULTI-PURPOSE

forestry carrier that can be configured for loading, shovel logging or processing applicatio­ns.

The 880E introduces several new features including an updated operator’s station and various grapple configurat­ions to tailor the machine to the user’s specific needs.

It is powered by the Tigercat FPT N67 engine, producing 230kW. The F7-163 undercarri­age is designed and built to withstand rigorous, full-time forest duty with strong stability for heavy timber applicatio­ns.

The spacious cabin has a new heated operator’s seat. Controls are integrated into both sides of the joystick pods, eliminatin­g the need for any bolt-on control pods. The optimally positioned controls and large machine control system touchscree­n interface improve ergonomics and machine monitoring.

The quiet interior helps the operator enjoy the auxiliary audio input port, Bluetooth audio and hands-free calling. Additional new features include a standard equipped rearVIEW camera system, emergency stop button, and a key fob to turn on exterior lights remotely when entering the cab in the dark.

The 880E can be configured as a loader equipped with various power clam, butt-n-top and log grapple options. Equipped with a live heel boom system, it is a highly capable shovel logger with strong stability, tractive effort and swing torque. The carrier can also be configured as a high-capacity processor capable of running large harvesting heads in demanding duty cycles.

Some of the many advantages of the 880E over excavator conversion­s include better service access, higher cooling capacity, a better operating environmen­t with strong sightlines, more robust undercarri­age components and efficient hydraulic circuits. The result is higher production, uptime and fuel efficiency.
