Customer Testimonial for the 558 LL Forest Machine.

of

With more engine power, swing power and travel power, the new Cat® Next Generation 568 Forestry Machine is the perfect choice for fifth-generation logger Jeremy Hart from Brownsville, Oregon. “First impressions are the cab is big and swing power is phenomenal,” says Hart. “In the logging industry, you only make money if you produce lots of logs. This machine is more productive than the old model and uses 20 percent less fuel. That’s like an extra few bucks in the bank every day.”
