Overview
Designed by loggers for loggers, the quiet, spacious cab helps keep you more comfortable and productive – so you can boost your bottom line. The 4 m2 (43 sq ft) of window area, coupled with the 240-degree rotating seat, maximizes visibility to the task at hand while minimizing neck strain. Armrest-mounted electrohydraulic (EH) joysticks provide smooth and intuitive control of all machine functions at your fingertips. The EH joysticks also allow you to customize the button and lever layout to your preference and saves your settings when switching between operators.
Benefits
- Large windows provide clear visibility to the drag
- Rotating seat allows you to operate the machine while facing the front or rear
- Optional light-emitting diode (LED) lights allow you to start earlier and work later
- Customizable joystick patterns for multiple operators

Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) offers the best of both worlds
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) used in L-II skidders
Offering loggers the best of both worlds, the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) combines the efficiency of the direct-drive transmission with the smoothness and ease of a hydrostatic drive. Delivering efficient power to the ground, the CVT automatically senses the load before delivering more torque to maintain the operator's wanted speed. The CVT also eliminates the need to shift gears, which shortens the learning curve for new operators, and helps the experienced pros maximize productivity.
- Constant engine speed helps provide superb multifunction performance
- Easy to operate, especially for new operators
- Defined ground speed limiters allow you to control your operating speed
- No need to shift gears
