Cranbrook, BC
In July 1988, Kootenay Tractor & Supply Ltd. (KOOTRAC) acquired exclusive worldwide rights to manufacture, market and service the FMC Track Skidders. A new division of KOOTRAC, Kootenay Manufacturing Co. (KMC) was established to produce and market the High Speed Steel Track Skidder. KMC is located in Nelson in the heart of the steep slope logging areas of B. C. Their personnel have over 65 years of cumulative experience with the FMC and now the KMC Woodlands Equipment, and are well versed in timber harvesting techniques.
The new generation, KMC 1000 and 2000 Series Skidder is a specialized tool designed to harvest timber on steep and sensitive areas as well as in wet or boggy conditions. The KMC Track Skidder can work in many areas without skid roads using a natural bed of debris which reduces the risk of surface erosion and protects nutrient-rich soils for the next rotation of trees.
Although wheeled skidders with balloon tires and crawler tractors with extra wide track pads are used in logging on soft ground, the HSST concept is superior in many aspects, and fills the important niche of logging in soft, sensitive and steep ground. KMC is the only manufacturer of the fast track, low-ground pressure skidder.
The three primary design characteristics of the KMC HSST Skidder are balanced weight distribution, torsion bar suspension and live steel track. The forward mounting of the engine, transmission, steering differential, final drives, winch.
