Operate in Comfort

Inside cab view of man in florescent vest and safety helmet operating a tracked feller buncher in a snowy forest

A large and spacious operator station features a floor-to-ceiling front window, ergonomic controls, and increased cab volume over prior models. It enhances operator comfort, which is crucial for maintaining high productivity during long operating hours.

Intelligent Boom Control

Side view of a tracked excavator equipped with articulated boom and mulching head, illustrating horizontal reach (A–B) and vertical movement range (C–D)

The Intelligent Boom Control (IBC) system enhances precision and efficiency by automating boom movements. With IBC, operators use a single lever to control the head direction, while the system manages boom and cylinder movements, making operations smoother and reducing operator fatigue.
