Barko 295B

Barko's hard-working trailer/truck mount loaders offer optimal fuel efficiency and transportation flexibility for a wide range of logging and saw mill operations. The loaders incorporate the highest quality engineering and components to withstand the demanding needs of forestry professionals and deliver more loads every day. ENGINE The 295B is powered by a 173-HP Cummins QSB6.7 Tier 4 diesel engine with SCR after treatment. HYDRAULIC CONTROL SYSTEM The 295B features a pilot-operated control system, in conjunction with IQAN electronic controls, to provide a more natural feel for the operator. The system can be configured as necessary, and maintenance can be performed simply without a specialist. LOAD SENSING HYDRAULICS Unlike open loop systems that waste fuel, Barko's efficient load sensing system delivers power only when needed. Load sensing valves and pump deliver excellent metering by matching pressure and flow. Adaptable to most attachments, the system runs cool. Efficient and precise grapple functions reduce operator fatigue. JOYSTICK CONTROLS Multi-functional dual joystick controls are ergonomically designed to provide enhanced comfort and productivity. BOOM CONSTRUCTION Wider, all-welded boom construction with fabricated box type design includes engineered sweeping curves for added strength and increased fatigue resistance. 360-DEGREE ROTATION Rotary manifold allows for 360-degree continuous boom rotation and provides electrical and hydraulic power to the lower frame. SWING TORQUE Dual motors and planetary gearboxes produce 30,000 foot-pounds of swing torque, while improving machine balance. COUNTERWEIGHT Standard 1,300-pound cast steel counterweight provides extra stability. ZINC PLATED PINS Extra large zinc plated pins and bolts provide added durability in high-stress areas. CENTRALIZED VALVES Centralized hydraulic control valves are easily accessible outside cab door. BOLT-ON CYLINDER GLANDS Bolt-on cylinder glands make on-site service easy, while piston rings extend product life. Cylinders are made of heavy-duty steel tubing, and heavy chrome cylinder rods are heat-treated for added strength. SERVICE Centralized turntable greasing system and removable service panels simplify maintenance tasks. OPERATOR CAB Vibration-isolated "floating cab" provides a smoother ride. Weather sealed, insulated and climate controlled, the cab includes a suspension seat with armrests, foot swing controls and halogen lights. INSTRUMENT PANEL Digital display provides enhanced monitoring of all machine functions. WINDOWS Tinted windows, including roof and sliding side windows, provide excellent visibility for safer operation. FUEL TANK 120-gallon (454 L) fuel tank capacity allows for longer operating intervals. STABLILZERS Two sets of foldaway stabilizers further contribute to keeping loads steady.
