2025 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 harvesting 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.

• • Hydraulic system features include an electric fill pump for the hydraulic tank and an improved internal hydraulic bypass for more consistent temperature in all weather conditions. Hydraulic tank vacuum pump is also standard.
  • 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-drive motors provide continuous rotation and high swing torque of 50,787 foot-pounds. The machine features a heavy-duty, oversized swing bearing and offers excellent boom reach.

• • A patent-pending, forward-sliding cab design allows the cab to move out up to 36 inches for easier serviceability.

• • 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.

• • 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 window provides added safety on harvesting jobs, while an air knife system keeps the front window and oversized skylight clear of debris. A sliding rear window and exterior LED lighting further contribute to excellent visibility around the entire working area.
