Tigercat 865 Logger
The Tigercat 865 is a purpose-built logger designed for loading and processing applications. The 865 combines power, efficiency and serviceability into a true multi-purpose forestry carrier.
The 865 is a 71,000 lb. carrier that offers many advantages over excavator conversions, such as higher cooling capacity, a better operating environment, stronger undercarriage components and extremely efficient and task-optimized hydraulic circuits. The result is higher production, uptime and fuel efficiency for lower operating cost per ton. The Tigercat FPT N67 engine delivers 165 kW (221 HP) at 1,900 RPM.
The 865 shares a common platform with the 850 processor and can be configured as a loader with boom options for various grapple styles including bunching, power clam and butt-n-top grapples, as well as grapple saws. Equipped with a live heel boom, along with the optional pull-through delimber and bar saw slasher hydraulic package, the 865 can be configured as a high-performance merchandising loader. This package is well suited to typical southern US full-tree harvesting systems.
The 865 can also be configured as a high-capacity roadside processor, capable of running large harvesting heads in demanding duty cycles. Dual swing drives provide ample torque and speed for high-performance loading or processing. The high cab improves performance and operator visibility in high decking applications.
Service access has been carefully thought out with the ability to step down into the center of the machine for clear, unobstructed access to the engine and daily service points. Large enclosure doors and a spring assist side service platform provide a large, stable work area for performing maintenance on hydraulic components and changing filters. A large cast counterweight provides excellent stability with a swing-out door that allows access to the engine from the rear of the machine.
