The wheeled skidder works on the basis of an agricultural tractor, but differs from the latter in the arrangement of key elements. In its rear part there is a frame on which is placed a platform with a winch for choker skidding or a hydraulic gripper. The chassis of the tractor is characterized by an increased bearing area. Such a constructive solution allows reducing the erosion effect of skidder on the forest floor.
The skidder is a powerful and productive machine capable of working effectively in difficult conditions. In the basic version, it is equipped with a diesel engine and auxiliary attachments that extend its functionality. And the wheelbase helps it to move around the areas designated for logging. The cab in the skidder is located at the front of the machine. This is done in order to more evenly distribute the mass of the operator and the forest collected on the platform.
