Upgraded From Tigercat: 850B Processor
The 850 processor, the Tigercat branded purpose-built alternative to excavator conversions, has been upgraded for improved performance. The new 850B retains all of the advantages over converted excavators used in roadside processing applications—easier service access, a more comfortable cab with better visibility, and superior cooling capacity.
The performance and fuel efficiency differential has been further increased. Initial field testing confirms that the 14% increase in power to 187 kW (251 HP) results in improved machine performance and response for quicker, smoother boom cycles, improved feed acceleration and braking, and more powerful swing. In addition, hydraulic system refinements target boom efficiency, reducing fuel consumption.

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…
