Built on the same upper platform as Tigercat’s flagship LX830E feller buncher, the LX825 is a quicker, lighter, and more agile near-zero tail swing carrier with an all-new leveling undercarriage.
The machine can be equipped with a choice of two hydraulic systems: the standard feller buncher system, or an optional convertible hydraulic system which allows the machine to switch back and forth between a disc saw, intermittent saw, bar saw, shear, or mulching head. This increased utility enables forest management contractors to masticate brush, understory and undesirable timber, while retaining the ability to fell merchantable timber.
The compact design, speed and agility allow for precision thinning and masticating to reduce fuel load and improve forest resiliency.
The new TCi 4154-15 mulching head, perfectly matched to the LX825, is designed for easy access to service points and wear items. The inlet and mulching chamber are designed to pull in debris and completely masticate the material before it exits the chamber, ensuring high quality forest treatments. The mulcher wrist pivots 130 degrees side-to-side for maximum dexterity in tight in-stand treatment applications. The pin-on rake aids in clearing brush and debris.
