Caterpillar Forest Products has upgraded the hydraulic system and made other enhancements to improve performance of the 173 HP Prentice 2470, the 190 HP Prentice 2570 and the 220 HP Prentice 2670 wheel feller-bunchers. The company also recently made enhancements to the Prentice SH-50 bunching saw and is introducing the Prentice SC-57, a new center post saw.
The saw pump flow capacity in the feller-bunchers has been increased, resulting in a 15% improvement in saw recovery time on the Prentice 2570 and a 6% improvement in the Prentice 2670. Multi-functioning, an advantage of Prentice wheel feller bunchers, has been enhanced with improvements to the front control valve. Additional adjustments provide better acceleration and faster ground speed. Operators will notice more power on hills, wet ground and rough terrain. Visit prenticeforestry.com
