Tigercat brings the benefits of its E-series skidders to Australia and New Zealand
Tigercat is now offering a FPT Tier 2 engine option for the 610E, 615E, 620E, 630E and 635E skidders, bringing the benefits of the E-series to Australia and New Zealand. The Tier 2 option uses the same Tigercat FPT N67 engine used for Tier 4 Final markets with a simplified after-treatment system. All E-series skidders are equipped with a new air ride seat with automatic weight adjustment to improve operator comfort and ergonomics. Tigercat designed and built forestry-duty axles are equipped in all E-series skidders. This gives Tigercat maximum design control and allows for enhanced commonality of spare parts across different machine models.
