Forestry Cable Skidder — 178 kW / 204 kN Wire Tractive Force
Forestry cable skidder. 19700 kg operating weight, 178 kW rated power, 204 kN wire maximum tractive force. 7.84 m × 3.22 m × 3.55 m envelope. XCMG's latest-generation skidder for primeval and old-growth forest timber work. Cable winch architecture handles felled timber drag-and-load cycles in forestry operations where the trees are too large for direct loader pickup. Distinct product class from XCMG's wheel loaders despite shared XC product line nomenclature.
The XCMG XC360 is a forestry cable skidder with 19700 kg operating weight, 178 kW rated power, and 204 kN wire maximum tractive force — XCMG's latest-generation skidder for primeval forest timber collection and transfer.
7.84 m × 3.22 m × 3.55 m envelope. Cable winch architecture (wire tractive force 204 kN) handles felled timber drag-and-load cycles in forestry operations where the trees are too large for direct loader pickup. Sized for primeval and old-growth forest work — primary application is collection and transfer of diversified timbers under heavy forestry conditions. Distinct product class from XCMG's wheel loaders despite shared XC product line nomenclature. Genuine XCMG parts and service available through me-equipment.com's authorized dealer channel.
Five aspects of the XC360 that fit it to forestry skidder work: 204 kN cable winch, 178 kW production drive, primeval forest sizing, latest-generation XCMG skidder positioning, and parts compatibility across the XCMG fleet.
204 kN wire maximum tractive force from integrated cable winch. Handles felled timber drag cycles for trees too large for direct loader pickup. Cable winch is the defining skidder architecture — distinct from wheel loader bucket-and-arm work pattern.
178 kW rated power, 19700 kg operating weight. Power-to-weight tuned for cable-drag-and-traction work in soft forest soil. Similar power class to a 5-ton wheel loader but configured entirely for forestry skidder duty cycle.
XCMG positions the XC360 for primeval forest timber collection and transfer — operations involving very large, very old trees in undeveloped forest land. Drives are extensive for the collection and transfer of diversified timbers under such working conditions.
Per XCMG, the XC360 is XCMG's latest-generation skidder product. Updated platform vs prior XCMG skidder generations — addresses primeval forest operational conditions specifically.
Shares engine and chassis-level parts with the XCMG mid-class wheel loader range. Genuine XCMG parts and service available through me-equipment.com's authorized dealer channel — useful for forestry contractors who run mixed forestry-and-loader XCMG rosters.
