Features
Productivity
The new six-wheel 768L-II Bogie Skidder delivers outstanding traction, stability, and flotation, so you can work in wet conditions and on steep slopes. It’s built tough to carry hefty loads over long distances — and help your operation reach its full potential.
Engine
A constant engine speed helps provide superb multifunction performance. The elimination of sudden surges and engine overspeed also reduces component wear and helps extend engine life.
Bogie Axles
Confidently pull heavy loads and manoeuvre on hillsides and in wet terrain thanks to superb bogie-axle stability. Operators can also appreciate the reduced machine vibration and smooth ride.
Grapples
Grapple options ranging from 17.5 to 22.3 square feet help you deliver more wood to the landing with fewer skids. Grapple squeeze provides a constant pressure, so operators are less likely to lose a log, even if a load gets jarred.
Continuously Variable Transmission
The easy-to-use CVT transmission automatically senses the load and delivers more torque and tractive effort as needed to maintain the desired speed.
Visibility and Agility
Arch design provides an expansive rearward view to the grapple and jobsite behind the machine, while a long wheelbase and improved boom-arch envelope increase dexterity and manoeuverability in the woods. The tight turning radius enhances agility at the landing.

This machine will be fitted with wheel chains & tethered to a traction assist machine winching up and down slopes over 50 degrees. 🌲 Thanks to our Albury and Brisbane teams for the combined efforts in the prep and delivery!

The skidder that went head to head with a competitive (bigger) machine and came out on top 👀
Congratulations to the Borg Fleet Management crew for adding a new 848L-II Skidder to their logging operations. After a few days on demo in the bush through rain, hail, wind and freezing temps, the team put the machine through its paces and it came out on top!
Thanks to the Borg team for your support and our Albury crew for the fantastic efforts. 👏
