KMC Bracke Mounder Working the Tundra
In 2022 Cenovus Energy commissioned KMC Kootrac to build a speciaty vehicle capable of working in Alberta`s Tundra. This unit had to have a ground pressure of no more than 4 psi. The human foot has 7 psi.
This was required as the soils in the tundra are so soft, heavy equipment sinks and cannot work in this muck. KMC took the challenge and produced a machine that exceeded everyone`s expectations.

High strength, cast steel track pads connected with rubber bushed steel pins permits track flexibility while preventing metal to metal wear and dirt contamination. Individual pads are easily replaced in the field by removing connecting pins. The "live" action, combined with the long, wide track design puts more track area on the ground. This results in minimizing ground pressure and soil compac...

Would have liked to see it skidding an actual turn!
They painted it so its cooler now my dad is like the ceo of soft track attack its jared covey
Awesome! Impressive machines! Very capable tracked skidder
No Cummins?
Best cost option. HOW MUCH?
Ermoso que país soy forestal
Thats just fine. After all that, he just pulled out a few pencils to run thru the chipper?
I dont like the log arch.
Underpowered.
KMC-Kootrac Forestry management machines
What a cool platform!
a turn takes forever! cycle time is too long.
Yes sir I do believe two of them could move from temporary in a week's time rain or shine
I better hush my luck it's got a winch on it
Haha don't have to pull cable neither yes
Haha what do you think about that coz
A Canadian skidder my friend
It would have took a hell of a skidder to haul that log up out of there like that
6 cylinder Cummins if I'm not mistaken plenty of power
I cut for one of them by day or two how big is a pretty good machine they move some Timber they were $350,000 a piece 20 years ago
Nothing like rubber tire skidders. But that still compacted and made deep ruts in one pass.
Update your videos the old VHS footage is making you look bad. Given the "good Looks" oriented signaling going all through bureaucracy now days... Like I have said this could easily be one of the kings of the fireline, but the slick presentations are winning. Up the game so it don't look so lame.
Engine options?
Hi love ur videos I'm from Australia and own a KMC 2500 kootrack I no this is a long shot but I currently need a clutch ring gear for the 6v53 to Clark transmission any help or recommendation on who I should contact would be appreciated
How much does it cost
That thing is amazing tiptoeing across roots
I realy like that cabin really classy and practical
How dose it do after roll over
Shut up and take my money $$$
I would love to run that beast
NICE! I slapped together a rig like that on my sx4. Why spend thousands when you can use redneck engineering and hillbilly fabrication for free.
So when are the modern day videos of this coming out?
I wouldn’t bother, looks like you would have a hard time seeing what tge grapple was doing.
Wow, that little tracked machine doesnt know when to give up.
Fuel use for a full day?

I ran an FMC, the precursor, back in the early 70's. Fun ride, even on steep ground and snow. Did not enjoy working on the final drive though. Did they ever make that stronger?
I ran an FMC tracked skidder with moveable arch and chokers on snow in the early '70s in Oregon. Very fun machine to run around with out in the woods.....lots of maintenance. Flying a helicopter on fires in the 00"s I saw a lot of them that had been converted to water tankers for running fire lines.
What exactly are the high maintenance areas? I have herd its mainly the tracks but what specifically with them?
I see you cut the film at 46 seconds!
Definetly should be yarding that area.
The amount of money spent fighting these fires they could have put a nice network of fire hydrants in these forests and made it easier to put out, and let volunteers come in and clean the junk on the ground of dead trees and brush that feeds these fires, instead of trying to convince us it's a global warming thing, except other states like Oklahoma, Arkansas, Pennsylvania, and other states with large forests don't seem to spontaneously combust....
If you have not been on a KMC/FMC, it is impossible to grasp just how much more capable they are. Compared to a cat or wheel skidder.
The biggest problem is they are light duty compared to a cat or skidder. They ran lots of them in my area & there were a lot of horrific accidents, many from breaking a track on a steep slope causing the machine to turn hard sidewise & rolling 25 times often killing the operator.
The machine in the video pretty much lost all the advantage of the design with the grapple hanging that far out back, you are supposed to carry a good portion of the load on the machine, not drag all of it like a cat.
Oh fellas, I didn't mean discredit any person or machine. I wanted to validate the FMC being an extraordinary design and phenomenal in capabilities. But, no single machine works best in every situation. I've spent a lot of time on one. Many dozer operators struggle on these. They do not operate even similar to cat. Drive sprocket on the front changes everything from a typical dozer. Anywho, if you haven't and get a chance to operate one, jump on it. It is my favorite machine.
That is just the coolest fire fighting machine I’ve seen
There is a specific type of valve used in water/wastewater/sewage pipelines to vent trapped gases. It is a hollow ball contained inside a cage, the air/gas can vent out and in through the seat because it isn't dense enough to lift the ball. When the liquid comes up it will lift the ball against the seat and seal it so no water/fluid escapes. When the water/fluid drops the ball drops allowing air/gas to flow. Also if you want to use this as a bulldozer you can have a larger blade but why pull the tank.
It needs a full height blade not a skidder blade it has the power to move a lot of material.
Nope, it's not a dozer, it's an all access vehicle. Blade is big enough to clear whats needed.
Impressive machine!!
An Aussie style self protection mister system for possible burn overs and you would have a king of the fireline.
What will that do against a big tree ? Answer, nothing. 2 trees close together they are fuc*ed
can push the tree down and out of the way
Beutiful machine
Are there any 2000 models with swing boom
