Hydraulic system for a 337E and 437E

Proven pressure-compensated load-sensing hydraulic system delivers power on demand for strong delimbing and loading performance, while minimizing hydraulic heat generation and reducing fuel consumption.  

• Dedicated swing circuit provides the power needed for delimbing and loading tasks
• A second hydraulic oil filter doubles the change interval to 2,000 hours
• An optional vacuum pump helps reduce oil loss during an unexpected downtime event or when servicing hydraulic components
• Hydraulic options for the 437E allow you to power a circle saw and/or a self-propelled carrier
• The circle saw’s dedicated pump increases cutting power and saw-recovery time
