2024 Barko Tracked Processors 270B

Offering exceptional horsepower, swing torque and tractive effort, the 270B processor features a dangle head boom configuration for delimbing and cut-to-length harvesting.

Features may include:

• The 270B is powered by a 225-HP Cummins QSB6.7 Tier 4 Final diesel engine with SCR aftertreatment. The unit includes a 36-inch-diameter auto reversing fan with automatic blade pitch control to optimize engine efficiency.

• IQAN electrohydraulic control system is specifically designed for Barko machines, with hydraulics tailored for processing applications. IQAN offers infinite variable control, including programmable settings for individual operators.

• System information and machine diagnostics are conveyed on a convenient Parker IQAN-MD4 cab touchscreen display.

• The hydraulic system on the 270B ensures power is always available, allowing operators to instantaneously shift from function to function with no delayed reactions like with other machines.

• Load sensing hydraulics automatically adjust performance according to the load.

• Delivers more hydraulic horsepower to the attachment through exceptional pressure and flow.

• A dedicated attachment pump runs the dangle head without robbing flow from the machine for other functions.

• The D7 undercarriage with 8.5-inch chain pitch offers ground clearance of 29.5 inches and track width of 11 feet, 5.5 inches with 700-mm pads. Longer tracks also contribute to firm, stable footing.

• The 270B delivers an impressive drawbar pull of 66,700 foot-pounds, giving it the ability to handle steep hills and rough terrain with ease.

• Dual swing-drives provide continuous rotation and high swing torque of 58,384 foot-pounds. The machine features a heavy-duty, oversized swing bearing and offers excellent reach with its dangle head boom configuration.

• A patented, forward-sliding cab design allows for easier service access to the main electrical panel and engine compartment.

• A large, hydraulically opening gull-wing door offers direct access to the engine and components. Spanning nearly the full length of the machine, the gull wing serves as a service platform, complete with a slip-resistant walking surface.

• The 270B features a storage tray, two storage areas on the door, and space for a lunch box inside the cab, along with two additional storage areas outside the cab.

• Large side door entry provides easy access to the comfortable cab, which offers excellent visibility, a heated air-ride seat, cup holder, dome light, radio with MP3 auxiliary, AM/FM/WB, USB, XM-ready and Bluetooth, and even a coat hanger.

• A 1.25-inch polycarbonate front window provides added safety on processing jobs. 8 exterior LED lights further contribute to excellent visibility around the entire working area.

• Large 275-gallon (1,040 L) fuel tank capacity allows for longer run periods between refills. Excellent fuel economy reduces fuel costs and downtime for refueling.

• Attachments fold completely under the processor boom, allowing easy transport on the road.
