Cutting capabilities have been increased by enlarging the saw box to fit a longer 45 in bar. The key improvement is the new Tigercat 750RP saw unit with a full 240 degree bar feed angle, enabling single-side back cuts. This greatly reduces machine travel when felling large trees to enhance overall productivity, reduce potential tree damage, minimize ground disturbance, and improve fuel efficiency.
The Tigercat 750RP is an evolution of the proven Tigercat 750, incorporating a ring-and-pinion hydraulic drive instead of the external cylinder, while retaining other proven service parts. New Tigercat-programmed carrier saw control gains saw home and saw position sensors, proportional bar feed, and electronic saw motor control. The result is enhanced overall productivity, with from-the-seat tuning, on-display feedback, and operator-selectable saw functions to tailor performance.
