A Hard Day’s Work Was Never So Easy
Working hard or hardly working? With a cab this comfortable, it can be hard to tell. The roomy interior now has a warm, fully finished look with stylish contoured consoles throughout. The seat swivels from 15 degrees to a neck-saving 30 degrees from center. The steering wheel tilts and telescopes.

Just Tell it to “Go Fetch”
The 540G-III goes where you want it to, and pulls a bigger drag faster, and in a higher gear than ordinary skidders. Now you have a choice to couple a direct-drive OR torque-converter transmission to the powerful John Deere engine.

Synch the wheels with full diff-lock for maximum traction, or unlock them for less tire scuffing. A full 90 degrees of frame articulation ensures tight turns, and the long wheelbase and wide stance provide unmatched stability.

* 117 SAE net horsepower
* Inboard, heavy-duty planetary final drives
* Hydraulic locking, operated on-the-go differentials
* 30-degree stop-to-stop front axle oscillation

The L830C is a high performance, zero tail-swing, leveling feller buncher with outstanding service access. The L830C is well suited to selective cut and final fell applications on slopes and extreme terrain. Equipped with a powerful Cummins engine, the L830C has the power and stability for tough final felling.
With long track frames and a wide stance carbody, the FH400 leveling undercarriage is very stable. Tigercat’s industry leading leveling system is extremely durable with thick steel plate, large pins and tapered roller bearings.
The ER boom system is highly productive in thinning applications. Tight tuck boom geometry minimizes residual stand damage.
The operator’s station is large and quiet with excellent visibility.

Choice of ER or conventional boom system. ER increases productivity, reduces fuel consumption and requires less effort from the operator.
Super duty 215 mm (8.5 in) pitch forestry undercarriage.
367 kN (82,600 lbf) tractive effort for high performance in extreme terrain.
Extreme duty leveling system with massive pins and cylinders and thick steel plate throughout.
Excellent access to pumps and valves; far superior to competing zero tail-swing machines.
Automatic variable speed/reversing cooling fan for improved fuel economy and quieter operation.
Large air intake for cooling system is at the rear of the machine for reduced debris build-up.
