The Tigercat 5702 saw is versatile for felling large-diameter timber and accumulating several small stems in neat, parallel alignment. This versatility is a big advantage in the mixed-diameter natural stands that characterize the majority of Canadian harvesting operations.

The 5195 directional felling saw is versatile for felling, shovel logging, bunching, stacking and sorting. The 5195 is best suited oversize timber and steep terrain.

Equipped on an LS855D shovel logger, the 5195 can work alone felling and shovel logging. Alternatively it can fell and pre-bunch in conjunction with a skidder or yarding system.

Product Highlights

• Heavy duty reinforced chassis and arms
• Dual cylinder arm design for maximum control and superior grip for larger trees or bunches
• Durable and simple Tigercat saw unit
• Continuous rotation, high capacity rotator for superior positioning control when felling and shoveling
• Custom in-cab head control for Tigercat carriers; settings can be optimized to suit the operator and application
• Easily serviced with quick bar and chain changes

The 5185 is a versatile fixed wrist bar saw head. It effectively fells and controls oversized timber and can perform other duties in-stand such as topping, removing large limbs and shovel logging. The 5185 is a great asset when felling and handling oversize trees and high value hardwood.

Product Highlights

• Heavy duty reinforced chassis and arms
• Superior control for high value trees
• Durable and simple Tigercat saw unit
• Easily serviced with quick bar and chain changes
• Grapple-type arm design for maximum control
• Spring-mounted saw unit to resist bent bars
• Excellent performance in selective felling and shovel logging applications

Similar to Tigercat bunching saws, the 5000 series uses a two-arm configuration combined with an offset pocket. To accommodate larger timber and maintain machine balance, the pocket is shallower and closer to centre.

Each 5000 series felling saw is available for drive-to-tree feller bunchers and enhances versatility in mixed and natural stands. It is also an excellent choice for contractors requiring the flexibility required to move between thinning and final fell jobs.

Product Highlights

• Unique three-arm asymmetric single post design for excellent bunching performance
• Improves both feller buncher and skidder productivity by increasing number of cut stems per cycle and by laying down tight, parallel aligned skidder bunchers
• Three wrist options: 30, 110, 340 degree rotation
• Recessed saw blade and clever guarding reduce the throw angle and deflect chips downward, decreasing saw recovery time

The 5000/5300/5600 series saw for drive-to-tree feller bunchers is best suited to pine and eucalyptus row thinning and clear fell applications with a stem diameter range of 205 to 500 mm (8 to 20 in).

Tigercat bunching saws increase the productivity of the entire harvesting system while reducing cost per tonne. Feller buncher productivity and efficiency improves because more trees are cut per cycle, reducing unnecessary machine travel. Skidder productivity and efficiency improves because the bunches are large, well aligned and easy to pick up.

Product Highlights

• Improves both feller buncher and skidder productivity by increasing number of cut stems per cycle and by laying down tight, parallel aligned skidder bunchers
• More cutting and less machine travel; the unique two-arm design allows more trees to be stored before stopping to dump the accumulated bunch
• Twin post design with offset pocket for excellent visibility
• Deep accumulating pocket places the load closer to the machine for improved stability
• Recessed saw blade and clever guarding reduce the throw angle and deflect chips downward, decreasing saw recovery time
