A diff-lock rear axle is standard for reduced ground disturbance and maximum traction when needed, and a transmission declutch puts full power to the grapple hydraulics. But if there is one thing that sets the Timberjack 60 Series Skidders apart, it's the tilt cab - common on some other Timberjack forest machines but never before on skidders. Access to the transmission for service and for thorough trash clean-out was never like this. And that's just the beginning. This totally new unitized cab is well sealed, well insulated, roomy and attractive.
Visibility has to be seen to be believed.
And with the fuel tank moved from the rear frame, the clear sight lines to the load will be much appreciated. The 560 and 660 complete the high end of the all-new Timberjack 60 Series skidder line. These are the machines for heavy work under extreme conditions and multi-shift operations. Following the styling and design elements of the 360 and 460, these beefed-up machines provide outstanding performance through the elimination of needless weight, closing up the working gear ratios, and shifting machine load from the rear axle to the front frame. Diff-lock axles, front and rear are standard for reduced ground disturbance and maximum traction when needed, and a transmission declutch puts full power to the grapple hydraulics.
