<ul> <li><strong>Simplified routing of the electrical and hydraulic systems helps boost reliability and ease maintenance. Wiring and hoses are placed for protection against wear and damaging bends.</strong></li> <li><strong>Standard 2.07-square-meter (22.3 square foot) grapple on the 948L-II helps you deliver more wood to the landing with fewer skids. Grapple squeeze force provides a constant pressure, so operators are less likely to lose a log, even if a load gets jarred.</strong></li> <li><strong>The easy-to-use CVT transmission automatically senses the load and delivers more torque and tractive effort as needed to maintain the desired speed.</strong></li> <li><strong>New steering sensors control articulation speed when nearing frame-to-frame contact, cushioning impact during full articulation and to enhancing operator comfort.</strong></li> <li><strong>Standard Outboard-Extreme axles are designed with larger components to deliver maximum jobsite durability, along with a heavier weight to boost machine stability.</strong></li> </ul>

<ul> <li><strong>959ML allows for a directional felling head or a grapple and live-heel boom for shovel-logging applications.</strong></li> <li><strong>The 959ML Shovel Logger can easily grab all logs within reach when working either uphill or downhill, minimizing overall ground disturbance.</strong></li> <li><strong>FL100 Directional Felling Head delivers outstanding grapple capability, arm durability, and rotate/tilt power.</strong></li> <li><strong>Long 36-foot live-heel shovel-logger boom features a wide swath of 20 feet 5 inches, for more capability with less machine movement in hard-to-access areas. Powerful 30- and 34-foot booms for directional felling over a wide swath, up or down the slope, cut widths of up to just over 20 feet.</strong></li> </ul>
