One of many final Tigercat machines to obtain a Tigercat FPT Tier 4 engine, it was a problem to bundle the extra after remedy componentry required for Tier 4 compliance, whereas nonetheless retaining the nimble dimension of the thinning machine. The designers have succeeded, incorporating all the options of the bigger G-series members of the family, in addition to extra enhancements, whereas sustaining the approximate dimension of the earlier E-series machine.

The 718G will get its energy from the Tigercat FPT N45 Tier 4f engine which gives 125 kW (170 hp) at 2,200 rpm. The utterly redesigned engine compartment permits for a excessive capability cross-flow cooling set-up with a hydraulic pushed, automated variable pace fan and an automated reversing cycle. The brand new compartmentalized structure retains the cooling system, hydraulic elements, and engine in three separate areas.

The brand new accumulation mode permits the operator to decide on between regular and auto-accumulate for bunching head arm operation. Simultaneous open and shut of the clamp and accumulator arms will also be programmed on a joystick button. A noticed interrupt set off on the joystick turns off noticed energy briefly when further horsepower is required. That is significantly helpful in hilly terrain as soon as the noticed head is full and the operator is backing as much as dump the collected bunch.

The G-series cab is quiet and well-equipped and affords wonderful visibility. LED lights enhance reliability and brightness. A extra even mild sample gives higher protection across the machine. The entrance window space is almost ten % bigger. The rear quarter home windows are over twenty % bigger bettering the view over the again tires – an asset in thinning functions.

Further new options embrace a rear digicam system, programmable joystick buttons, electrical hydraulic fill pump, and ground-level fueling. Enhanced differential lock controls are timed to show off after a pre-set length to avoid wasting axle put on.
