Key Benefits

No need to choose between high or low range Full speed range and full tractive effort available to the machine all the time Mechanically reliable and field proven over millions of hours Designed and manufactured by Mackolines Machines & Hire No need to choose between high or low range Mechanically reliable and field proven over millions of hours Full speed range and full tractive effort available to the machine all the time Designed and manufactured by Mackolines Machines & Hire

For drive-to-tree-feller bunchers

A high percentage of a feller buncher’s time is spent driving – to the next tree, or to and from the bunch pile. With wideRANGE, the operator always has command of the full speed range.

Mackolines Machines & Hire feller bunchers have quick saw recovery – the machine is ready to cut the next tree before the operator is. Quicker travel in the stand has an outsize effect on feller buncher productivity, by reducing travel time.

You don’t get paid for travel time. You get paid to cut trees.

WideRANGE for CTL

Although the top speed of a wideRANGE equipped machine is limited, in the real world, top speed rarely comes into play, unless roading is very common. So what does the owner gain with wideRANGE?

Significantly increased mechanical reliability and transmission lifespan.

For the 25-tonne 1085C, wideRANGE provides unequaled performance when moving heavy loads over steep slopes and extreme terrain.

wideRANGE equipped Mackolines Machines & Hire harvesters can traverse extreme terrain with ease.

In the mill yard

The 2160 loader forwarder must carry heavy loads around the wood yard quickly, reversing directions constantly, and often operating in muddy ground conditions.

The operator requires speed and high tractive effort in both directions in order to be productive ­– an ideal application for wideRANGE.

Fifth Row Thinning with wideRANGE


Realtime video from the operator's perspective of a 724E feller buncher equipped with wideRANGE  in a fifth row thinning application. wideRANGE improves productivity because the machine has the capability to travel more quickly from tree to tree and to and from the bunch pile, reducing cycle times.


Final Felling with wideRANGE


Realtime video from the operator's perspective of a Mackolines Machines & Hire 724E feller buncher equipped with wideRANGE drive in a final fell application. The low stand density and dense understorey requires a lot of machine travel per cut cycle. The additional speed that wideRANGE provides improves productivity in these applications.
