2384 Knuckleboom Loader - Thompson Tractor

Today’s high production logger needs a loader that can quickly and efficiently process rawfiber. The Prentice 2384 is engineered with the structure, strength, speed, smoothness andstability to handle the production demands of pull through delimbing while keeping youcomfortable day-in and day-out.Fuel EconomyA choice of work modes is available at the flip of aswitch. Run Mode for normal operation yields optimumfuel economy and productivity. Power Boost Modeprovides 40% more engine power for demanding,high production applications. A 100-gallonremovable fuel tank allows you to work up to 2-1/2days without refueling when operating in Run Mode.Spacious CabThe enlarged cab has 30” of leg room with seat fullyback. Door opening is 45% bigger — 56 in. highand wider at the top for easier access. Large tintedwindows and skylight give picture window visibilityof the deck landing around the loader. Newlydesigned control panel puts switches in easy reach.Cup holder and tachometer are standard.Efficient Air ConditioningA new air conditioning system with vents that surround the operatorto keep you cool during long hours of production. Each vent can beadjusted individually to control cold airflow.Solid StructureThe 32 ft. purpose-built delimbing boom features steel castings at thebase end, mid-boom and main-stick end for supreme reliability andlongevity. The sub-frame design is simple and clean, but engineeredfor long life providing a rock solid base for optimum stability.Powerful SystemThe custom-engineered, industry first, excavator-type hydraulic systemforms the heart of the 2384. The system is designed for fast cycletimes, smooth operation and maximum reliability in delimbing andloading operations. Swing torque of 42,450 ft.-lbs. and swing speedof 11 RPM increases loading and delimbing efficiency.
