The KMC SOFT
TRACK SKIDDER has Three MAJOR Design
Advantages over Conventional Ground Skidding
BALANCED WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION
Because of the forward mounting of the power train, and the skidders ability to
carry the log load well forward on the machine, the combined weight of the
vehicle and its payload is spread over the entire length of the tracks.
TORSION BAR SPRUNG SUSPENSION
Ten torsion bars attached individually to roadarms provide the sprung
suspension. Each set of road wheels can move up and down independently, there-by
allowing the tracks to conform to uneven surfaces.
HIGH SPEED STEEL TRACK (HSST)
Cast Steel track pads, connected with patented rubber-bushed steel pins, permit
track flexibility while preventing metal-to-metal wear and track contamination
from soils.
The KMC 2400 is designed to haul medium and large timber in virtually any operating conditions. The choker arch extends hydraulically toward the load, then retracts as the load is winched in, lifting the butts onto the rear deck of the machine, close to its center of gravity. This eliminates butt dozing, and aids in balancing the weight distribution which results in better traction, higher speeds, greater productivity and consistent low Dynamic ground pressure.
