Forestry machines and their components are subjected to higher stress levels than most other off road machines. One of the axle components that is particularly vulnerable is the axle spindle. To be able to withstand the stress it will be subjected to, it must be hardened using an induction heat treating process. The total electrical energy used for each part is approximately 20 kWh, the equivalent of three to four days of electricity used by the average home. #tigercat #tigercatvideos #innovatio
