The Australian Arbor Age was rapt to be invited to a recent demo day for the truly awesome Tigercat 6900 grinder. What a beast!
On a fantastic, sunny day in Sydney’s west, the big Tigercat 6900 grinder was put through its paces, processing enormous quantities of waste in just minutes, and all controlled by a single operator with a hand-held remote.
Onetrak Managing Director David Hazell was on hand to offer insight into the machine’s capabilities and finer points, and a crack team showed what the behemoth grinder could do.
‘Impressed’ doesn’t come close to covering the impression left on the invited guests, The Australian Arbor Age included.
A few quick points of the tiger cat 6900:
* Power (with Caterpillar® C32 Tier 4f 895 kW (1200 hp) @ 2050 rpm
* Fuel capacity: 2082 litres
* Upswing rotor for maximum mulch production
* Adjustable infeed angle for easy and productive feeding of both long and short material
* Large diameter optional magnetic head pulley for effective metal removal
* Pivoting track frames eliminate the need for outriggers
* Easy maintenance access. Split hog box opens for full access to rotor and screens
* Single discharge conveyor with open bottom for clean operation and easy access.
Watching 1200 horsepower at work, and seeing the incredibly consistent results was absolutely astonishing.
