New From Komatsu: TimberPro Swing Machine

A durable, powerful and productive machine designed to move mass quantities of large timber in yard environments, the TimberPro TB785D swing machine is brand new to the market. It is TimberPro’s largest, most powerful and highest capacity machine to date, and was built with proven components and new features to meet the demand of high productivity swing applications.

The TN785D features a newly redesigned 12-roller track frame to provide a long stable platform for even weight distribution with high mobility and extended machine durability. Additionally, the operator cab has been raised 51 in. and includes a rear facing door for easy entry, an overhead skylight for full visibility, and power tilt for efficient transport and access.

Other features include:

  • More than 44 ft. of reach for a wide working area combined with excellent stability and lift capacity

  • High performance hydraulics that offer consistent speed with simultaneous circuit commands

  • Closed-loop hydrostatic swing for responsive and precise movements

  • A high output engine that provides more power and productivity

  • Dedicated track drives for enhanced maneuverability and control

 “TimberPro has designed this machine to excel in high-demand yard applications where lift capacity, reach combined with stability and hydraulic response are key to maximizing productivity,” says Nathan Repp, Product Manager for Forest Products at Komatsu. “We understand the real-world demands our customers face in these environments, and the TN785D was designed to meet those needs – delivering the performance, durability and efficiency they rely on to keep operations running smoothly.”
