SERIOUSLY PRODUCTIVE

OUTRUN EXPECTATIONS.

For big-time reliabil reliability. Outb Outboard-Extreme™ axles are the most rugged axles we’ve ever put to work in the woods. Designed with larger comp components to deliver maximum jobsite durability, and with a heavier weight to boost machine stability, OutboardExtre Extreme axles are standard on the 848L and 948L, optional on the 748L (not available on the 640L and 648L). th

UP TO THE CHALLENGE Won't back down. Or let you down. In the forest, uptime is the name of the game. And our L-Series Skidders aren't interested in playing nice. Extended axle life L-Series models feature a pressurized continuous-lube system and independent axle filters that extend wear life up to 15,000 hours.* Axle oil-pressure monitoring alerts the operator if a leak occurs. Straight bushings with grease-thru pins Straight bushings at all grapple, arch, boom, and blade joints deliver long, trouble-free life and can be quickly replaced when needed. Grease-thru pins balance lubrication and...

Long-term durability and impressive fluid economy CVT transmission enables a constant engine speed, reducing engine wear while providing excellent fluid economy. Proven components,' simplified electronics, and internally routed hoses | further bolster durability. Easy to operate No more shifting — or "shift shocks" due to surging rpm. Simply set the maximum speed and let the transmission do the rest. Configurable speed ranges eliminate the need to hunt for the correct gear, shortening the learning curve for new operators while helping experienced pros maximize productivity. Power to the...

DRAG MORE WOOD All business. L-Series Skidders reliably deliver power, stability, and performance — for the productivity you need to stay on top of your game.

More grapple choices Independent axle diff lock With multiple grapple options available for each L-Series model — up to a massive 22.3 sq. ft. on the 948L — you have more flexibility to configure your skidder to best match the application. Arch design provides a better view to bunches, for more efficient loading. L-Series machines combine impressive horsepower and powerto-weight ratio with a constant engine speed — for superb responsiveness and maximum efficiency. Better machine balance optimizes pulling power, while improving stability when climbing hills, navigating adverse terrain, or...

EASY MAINTENANCE Reliable fuel economy Quick and easy serviceability Low total fluid consumption Efficient Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) keeps engine speed constant to reduce fuel consumption, while maintaining a smooth ride and providing optimal power to the ground. Filters and critical components are conveniently located for fast service. Large panels are easily removed for wide-open access to the engine compartment, and the cab tilts to provide a quick route to other components. Grease points for boom and arch are easily reached from ground level, while extended service...

Hydraulic reversing fan Auto-reversing fan reverses airflow at 30-min. intervals, or can be activated by the operator as needed, to eject debris from the cooler cores. Variable-speed fan runs only as fast as needed, or if conditions demand more frequent cleaning, simply press a button to actuate the reversing cycle. Hydraulic filter service has been extended from 2,000 to 4,000 hours, decreasing planned downtime and expense. Most customers will be able to work a whole season without a change interrupting production. Wide-open cooling package access Cooling fan and other cooling...
