New From Tigercat: Convertible Mulcher/Feller-Buncher; Mulching Head
In response to growing requirements for fire mitigation interventions and increased management of forestland in the western U.S., Tigercat is set to debut the prototype LX825 track carrier in February at the Sierra-Casade Logging Conference in Anderson, Calif. 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 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.

Since then, multiple units have been testing in far flung regions from Alberta to Australia and the results are in. The 573 is shaping up to be a high performing, reliable head for roadside processing and harvesting.
