Tigercat 1075 '2005–08

Tigercat 1075B

Tommy Olers, foreman for Akers Skog is operating one of the company’s two 1075 scarifiers fitted with a Bracke T26.a disc trencher attachment. At 205 kW (275 hp), the 20-tonne (22 tn) 1075 is Tigercat’s largest forwarder. It is quickly becoming regarded as the forwarder of choice for scarifying applications. Tommy is currently working the machine in southern Sweden near Filipstad where the ground will not freeze until January. At that time the machine can either be converted to a standard forwarder for the winter or Tommy can seek contracts to the south in more temperate Germany.

Akers Skog provides scarification services to forest industry giant Stora Enzo as well as a Swedish government-owned company. These companies try to place the 1075 scarifiers in sites with the most malevolent terrain and greatest amount of rock, recognizing there are few machines or contractors in Sweden that can handle these difficult contracts. Although it varies according to the terrain, the production rate averages one hectare (2.47 acres) per hour in tough ground.
