Volvo EC240 with Keto 500HD

[dragonhot15]

Check the price of maintain after 10 000 hours on this machine, tigercat harvester can run 45 000 hours easily. This machine was build to dig

AVATAR ???

[sbf433]

used 2 ouwn a track machine now have a timberpro rubber tire harvester definately more profitable and much more confortable

[wind2jammer]

how do you like the keto heads they looks like they do a great job

[Neil2636Cameron]

Tigercat would get around 25 to 28 L per hour...I operate a new volvo fc2421c with a logset 7x head in Nova Scotia Canada and am very pleased with it...she burns 18L per hour

[thorshammer]

Anyone else fed up of Mr Steam spouting Tigercat bollocks on every excavator conversion video? Take your sales pitch elsewhere, bullshit merchant.

[Forestmachines]

@thorshammer I agree. Notice he didn't answer my question about fuel consumption for his Tigercat. Huge factor these days...

[smokeydog666]

the amount of hours a machine like a tigercat has 2 work every week 2 pay for it self and make a profit is huge and whose 2 say the works always going 2 be there with the economys in the world going up and down at times

[smokeydog666]

u could buy 2 of those machines for the price of 1 tigercat

[skiddy33]

just a question ---- wouldnt you measure cost per cm3 produced? if the 2 different machines do the same job at different costs, isnt that a better comparison?

[Forestmachines]

this is true.

[steam0001]

Not much hydraulic power.

[Forestmachines]

compared with your tigercat maybe, but it is only 30% of the price aftr all.....

[steam0001]

Yes. Definitely a much cheaper machine.

[fatbassa]

I've seen this machine working close to me and it never stops! doesn't look like it is down on power to me

[steam0001]

Well then go watch a Tigercat harvester. It will surprize you in the amount of power it has it conperison to this one.

[Softest02]

Something like 2 x 230 l/min hydraulic pumps powered by a 170 hp engine. And if you compare it to a Tiger cat harvester it should be H250B if you take weight, size and engine power in consideration. And then the hydraulic power is not bad at all. The big advantage is that you can use one machine to fix the roads with also.

[steam0001]

Oh definitely if you needed to fix roads, dig holes, or pull out stumps you should get one of these machines. If you want to cut trees get a purpose built Tigercat & you will get more bang for your buck. On the H250B you get:

• Cummins QSB6.7 Tier III engine; 153 kW (250hp) @ 1,800 rpm

• Engine idles automatically when functions are not activated

• Advanced load sensing hydraulic system

• Simultaneous control of all machine functions

• Excellent fuel efficiency

[steam0001]

• Highly durable design and construction

• Large diameter, heavy duty swing bearing

• Robust boom cylinders

• Excellent service access

• Convenient platform access to the valves and engine

• Quiet, climate controlled operators station

• Insulated and isolation mounted

• High output heater/air conditioner

• Tigercat-built forest duty undercarriage

• Long track frames, and wide stance for excellent stability

[steam0001]

At the end of the day it is cost/ton (tonne) is the true measure of a machine.

[Forestmachines]

very true. mtrs per second counts for nothing when working machines, it is all down to cost per tonne.

[Forestmachines]

What is the fuel economy like in the Tigercat? Litres per hour?

[Softest02]

It would be fun to see what the price / ton is for both machines... I don´t think it´s so much of a difference. But that is what I think.

[PsychoShaft]

i want one!! ^_^
