Product feature: F Series 225F HP Tele Logger
The F Series 225F HP Tele Logger has new improvements to enhance operator safety and productivity
Generations of manufacturing at Bell has brought about a series that is like no other. The F Series 225F HP Tele Logger has strived to improve on safety and ergonomics as well as key components such as lower cost per tonne solution. All this while still in keeping with their core design element of simplicity.
First developed by Irvine Bell in the early 1960s, the Tri-Wheel design is a concept based on the motion of how a person would be walking and picking up the logs. This concept has paved the way for the Bell Tele Logger while undergoing subtle improvements through its evolution.
By transitioning from an air-cooled to a water-cooled, 57kW (76hp), turbocharged, four-cylinder engine, this F series machine emits lower operating noise levels and a cool operating temperature. The Yanmar water-cooled engine also has a lower fuel burn and lower running costs to maximise production efficiency.
The F series is equipped with a pilot operator self-neutralising transmission, which helps for ease of operation and operator safety. As well as this, there’s a fail-safe spring applied and hydraulically released (SAHR) brake to reduce any brake-related safety risks.

"Unlike previous models, the F series frame is both ROPS and FOPS certified and being triangular means the force is distributed evenly for durability," says national equipment sales manager for CablePrice, James Magill.
"Rear-view vision has also been a problem with similar machines in the past, which is why Bell has made it standard in the F series Tele Loggers to have a reversing camera. This makes it even faster for fleeting timber. It can also work in small and tight spaces because of its unique turning. It can almost work within its own turning circle."
He adds that simplicity of the design also integrates the hydraulic tank into the frame seamlessly, as well as giving a larger and brighter cab. With the new improvements, Bell continues to enhance operator productivity and safety.
