The skidder will be shown at the Les Cognées forestry event being held in France.
The event will be held in the heart of the French Alps in Les Gets, France, June 24-25. The 602 skidder design team has produced a small, compact, lightweight skidder platform that can be adapted to a number of niche applications. The prototype 602 model will be equipped with a Tigercat FPT Tier 4f N45 engine. It will use centre joint oscillation with the goal of achieving an overall width estimated at 2,8 m (110 in).
The 602 prototype for Les Cognées will also be fitted with a French designed and manufactured swing boom for use primarily in Europe. There are plans to further leverage this prototype into other related models such as a cable skidder and a dual drum cable skidder to widen the platform’s application and geographic relevance. However, Tigercat indicates that the specifications and configurations are not completely defined at this time. More information will be provided in the second half of 2017. Source
