Tigercat Dozer hits the Woods

Canadian based forestry equipment specialists Tigercat Industries have designed and developed a special purpose-built forestry dozer, heavily beefed up to endure the rugged forestry environment the dozer has been designated as the TCi 920.

The new TCi badge branding has been adopted as Tigercat Industries continues to design specialist equipment to offer alongside its more familiar forest harvesting systems.

Seeking to overcome shortcomings that harvesting professionals have experienced when applying standard-build, mass production dozers to forestry operations, the new 920 is designed specifically for use in logging applications.

The 920 is powered by the Tigercat FTP N45 Tier 4f engine rated at 101 kw (135 hp). It is equipped with a 190 mm (7.5 in) pitch heavy duty undercarriage, a responsive and efficient closed loop track drive system, strong, impact-resistant belly pans, and durable structural components throughout.

The 920 provides the power, durability and versatility for deck clearing, road building and clean-up activities on logging sites.

The carefully designed forestry cab offers the operator clear sightlines augmented by the sloped front hood and rear-mounted exhaust. The cab is quiet and comfortable with a heated and cooled air ride seat, ergonomic armrest mounted joysticks, and a large touchscreen machine control system interface.

I have been unable to find any video footage of this new machine, but as soon as some becomes available, I will add it into this post.
