Outboard-Extreme™ Axles
Standard Outboard-Extreme axles are designed with larger components to deliver maximum jobsite durability, along with a heavier weight to boost machine stability.
Continuously Variable Transmission
The easy-to-use CVT transmission automatically senses the load and delivers more torque and tractive effort as needed to maintain the desired speed.
Productivity
Large grapple helps you deliver more wood to the landing with fewer skids. More grapple-squeeze force provides a constant pressure, so operators are less likely to lose a log, even if a load gets jarred.
New Steering Sensors
New steering sensors control articulation speed when nearing frame-to-frame contact, cushioning impact during full articulation and improving operator comfort.
Uptime
Simplified routing of the electrical and hydraulic systems improves reliability and eases service. Wiring and hoses are placed for protection against wear and damaging bends.
