S550 Wheel Skidder

POWERFUL DRIVETRAIN

The powershift transmission features more gears evenly distributed in the working range. The field-proven lock-up torque converter, combined with high axle ratios, provides maximum fuel efficiency and powerful pulling performance.

MACHINE FUNCTIONALITY

Independent front and rear differential locks improve traction without impacting maneuverability. Strong multi-functioning hydraulics improve productivity allowing operators to steer and operate other functions simultaneously.

STRONG GRIP

The HD box section grapple tong shape and raised edges provide superior clamping force while internal welding and reinforcements extend life. The biomass grapple tongs offer increased capacity and an opening for small wood applications.

OPERATOR COMFORT

The exclusive advanced ride management seat suspension improves operator comfort and ride quality with a smoother, more stable ride. Combined with a quiet cab and a powerful HVAC system, it keeps operators comfortable and productive.

EXCELLENT SERVICEABILITY

Debris is kept out of the engine compartment utilizing a compartmentalized cooling system and engineered airflow forcing hot air out of the machine. The tilting cab provides access for troubleshooting and cleanout to minimise downtime.

GREATER DURABILITY & RELIABILITY

The cross-flow cooling system keeps the engine, transmission, and hydraulics cool, extending component life. Dual tapered roller bearing upper and lower hitch pins, increased hitch spacing, and solid nose and bolt-on panels also increase durability.
