Tigercat 610H Skidder, affordable, simple and robust
Tigercat 610H cable skidder to debut at the upcoming Paul Bunyan Show in Cambridge, Ohio.
Tigercat 610H is set to debut at this October’s Paul Bunyan forestry equipment exposition in Cambridge, Ohio. The Tigercat 610H cable skidder aims to be a simple, lower cost addition to Tigercat’s highly regarded H-series skidder line-up.
The Tigercat FPT N6.7 engine delivers 151 kW (202 hp) to the same hydrostatic driveline as the other H-series skidders. The machine is equipped with 620H sized axles for add durability.
The operator’s cabin however, is simplified compared with the other H-series machines. Rather than Tigercat’s signature Turnaround seat, the 610H is fitted with a fixed position seat angled at 30 degrees.
The heavy-duty winch provides maximum line pull at any engine speed. The winch can drop loads and drive away and reel in a load while driving using a wet-disk dynamic clutch. It also has very low free spool resistance which allows for easier cable extraction using a mechanical jaw clutch.
Tigercat is a privately owned, vertically integrated Canadian corporation with deep expertise in engineering, fabrication, manufacturing, and the support of machinery suited to severe duty applications.
Our roots are in forestry
Tigercat has decades of experience in the forest harvesting sector with the expertise to design complex structural, mechanical, hydraulic and electronic systems that perform every day in extreme and adverse conditions. Tigercat is taking this vast experience and using it to expand into other sectors that require tough, reliable machines to take on demanding duty cycles in other niche industrial applications.
