New From Tigercat: LG4053, LG5057 Grapples
The Tigercat LG4053 and LG5057 grapples are now offered on Tigercat 234C and 250E series track and subframe mounted loaders. Both grapples are now available with an optional Tigercat grapple saw, with a bar length of 45 in. and 0.75 in. chain pitch.
The new grapple saw offers several benefits and advantages. The bar oil reservoir is integrated into the durable housing. The hydraulic circuit is simple and efficient. The hydraulic lines are routed for maximum protection and uptime—fully guarded and further protected by the through-tip boom system offered on the 234C and 250E series loaders.
A Tigercat grapple saw increases loader utility and versatility. In hardwood applications, it allows the operator to quickly trim large limbs and remove forks within the security of the operator’s station, reducing or eliminating reliance on ground personnel. In storm cleanup applications, the grapple saw is useful in untangling blowdown and cutting off root masses.

Study Shows Site, Rotation Affects Carbon Sequestration Rate
Forest modeling research at Oregon State University’s College of Forestry shows a tract’s productivity is the top factor determining the rotation time that allows for the most above-ground carbon sequestration. Using OSU’s 11,000 acre McDonald-Dunn Research Forest as a study area, researchers inventoried more than 300 tracts known from past activities that varied widely in productivity levels. The data was run through modeling software that predicts changes in vegetation due to natural disturbances or management activities…
