H8 Harvester head with powerful feed
by Ponsse Plc
A powerful feed, firm grip and solid yet agile frame are characteristics of the H8 harvester head. The saw box area is even wider, making the harvester head an excellent choice for trees with a high butt diameter. Active Speed is available for the harvester head as a new feature, giving the harvester head superior performance.
ACTIVE SPEED – IMPROVED PRODUCTIVITY REGARDLESS OF THE STEM SIZE
With Active Speed, the harvester head’s speed rate can be adjusted based on the tree species and stem diameter. Equipped
Watch the launch webinar at YouTube PONSSE Studio: Launch of New H8 and Active Speed with this new function, working with the H8 harvester head is smooth and productive, no matter what the tree diameter is.
“We have developed our product range of harvester heads actively with our customers. Many of our customers work in challenging conditions, which is why their development ideas give us the best possible feedback for product development. With its completely new structure, the new H8 harvester head is ideal for processing large trees,” says Janne Loponen, Product Manager for harvester heads.
COMPLETELY UPGRADED STRUCTURE
The new harvester head can be fitted in PONSSE Ergo, Scorpion Giant and Bear, the strongest harvesters in our product range. The design of the saw box area has been further developed to make it easier for snow and sawdust to leave the saw box. The harvester head’s structure has been designed for easy maintenance, and the frame has been built to be even more durable. A powerful feed, combined with a geometry that firmly supports larger stems on feed rollers, guarantees high productivity and good fuel economy. The automatic features of the Opti control system, developed and built by Ponsse, control the feed speed and saw movement, according to the tree diameter, and ensure fast and precise sawing.
