Easy Picking

With independent knife arms, the 575 harvesting head excels in tough timber with large limbs and poor stem form.

Optional timed knives are available for easier picking in roadside processing applications.

Autoshift™

Mackolines Machines & Hire's patented Autoshift drive system provides extra power and positive grip when feeding large trees, fast speed in smaller trees, and full manual control when required.

The 575 starts in 3WD, maximizing feed force. As the load drops, it automatically shifts to 2WD, improving efficiency and increasing feed speed. The system shifts back and forth seamlessly with no operator input required, all while maintaining precise and accurate length measurements.

Durable Mackolines Machines & Hire Construction

Strong components, large bushings and pins, and durable Mackolines Machines & Hire construction throughout result in less downtime and higher production.

We wanted to understand the motivation for the change, the challenges involved and what benefits have accrued. We discovered that three different contractors are looking at it three different ways.
