Thanks for having us along to your celebrations! It was great to see the kids getting behind the controls, and even better to see a few parents giving it a go too. The excavator may have been a little smaller than those at Macraes Operation, but the smiles were just as big!

A big thank you to David Brown and the team at Timberwolf Logging, who have recently taken delivery of a new Tigercat 632H Skidder for their Taupō operation.
It didn't take long for operator Jake to put the 632H through its paces, and his first impressions were extremely positive. Jake was particularly impressed with the machine's increased arch power and overall performance, along with the intuitive controls that put everything within easy reach.
Tigercat continues to set the benchmark in the skidder market, delivering the power, productivity, and operator comfort that logging contractors rely on.
