Overview

Mackolines Machines & Hire's highest capacity skidder equipped with a versatile swing boom improves productivity in the most challenging terrain. The additional working envelope and ability to position the grapple well outside of the working track of the machine is an asset in applications where skidder travel is restricted or limited by terrain characteristics.

Proven Heavy Duty Swing System

Large Working Envelope

With a 210-degree rotation, the swing boom increases the working envelope of the skidder which means the operator spends less time manoeuvring the machine.

Tethering device set-ups are reduced due to the wider working range.

Dual rotate motors and a large swing bearing make gathering and moving bunches effortless on steep slopes.

Turnaround 220

Lock and release the 220 degree rotating seat in any position with the touch of a button. Full machine controls are always at your fingertips.

Small details like a climate-controlled cup holder and a place to hang your hat make long days feel shorter.

The 4-point harness makes extreme terrain feel a little tamer.

The durable interior finish is easy to clean.
