The Tigercat 5195 for performance
when cutting and shovelling
performed quickly without moving
the carrier. This makes the head
versatile for oversized timber over
one metre in diameter.
The 5195 has full 360° rotate
with through-the-link central
hosing for enhanced hose
protection and extended hose life.
Oversized twin grapple cylinders
deliver high performance and
control when felling cutting and

shovelling. The fully fabricated
chassis and grapple arms design
provide strength and added
longevity.
The 5185 shares the saw
performance and strength and
longevity characteristics of the
5195. Where the 5185 excels
is in its ability to control fell
and place high value trees,
avoiding breakage. In timber
stands with average diameters
that are approaching or beyond
the limitations of a disc saw,
contractors are seeing excellent
productivity with the 5185.
An added benefit is the ability
to top and cross-cut as well as
shovel the timber uphill within
reach of the skidders and pre-
bunch for skidders or yarders.
