Tigercat: Making the most of mulching

 

The Tigercat range of mulchers continues to impress after new models were introduced into Australia last year.


Tigercat mulchers are versatile machines used in a wide range of applications, including pipeline cleaning, clearing shrubbery and regrowth, right of way clearing for powerlines, land subdivision, golf course maintenance, site prep, and controlled fire hazard reduction.

The mulcher range currently consists of two wheeled versions — the M726G and the 760B — and a tracked version, the 480B.

The 480B mulcher is a 411 kW (550 hp) class carrier best suited to tough terrain, soft soil conditions and demanding duty cycles.

It is an ideal carrier for large scale clearing and right-of-way projects.

The wheeled 760B mulcher is the largest wheeled mulcher.

A 420kW (569hp) class carrier that can achieve quick working speeds and a wide swath for high production, it is an ideal carrier for silviculture site preparation.

The machine can quickly and efficiently clear residual forest debris and grind stumps to ground level to facilitate replanting.

Across the range, the cabins incorporate well-appointed operator stations featuring a large LCD touchscreen and ergonomic, armrest mounted joystick and drive.

The mulchers have built-in compressors for cleaning the machines, standalone attachment pumps for the heads, and a large cooling package for extreme conditions.

The mulchers are equipped with high-lift boom geometry and equipped with Tigercat’s own 4061-30 mulching heads.

The 4061 mulching head is belt driven, comes with twin drive motor, variable displacement, replaceable teeth and replaceable wear liners throughout.

The 4061-30 mulching provides the performance, uptime and confidence required for large scale, time sensitive right-of-way and site preparation applications as well as silviculture site preparation work and stump grinding. The 4061-30 mulching head is 3m (10 ft) wide.
