standing trees has to be prevented. Fast but still economic feeding and further cutting ensure the productivity of the H6 harvester head. Larger models of the harvester head line are the H7 and H8, both equipped with extremely efficient proportional hydraulic systems. They are mainly focused on regeneration felling and thinning with larger tree sizes. “They offer unbeatable feeding power, cutting speed and measuring accuracy in their size classes,” Ponsse said. The H7 and H8 can also be efficiently used for multi- stemming without additional equipment. In this sense, the multi stemming option does not weaken the performance of the machine on single tree harvesting at all.

working closely on the terrain on which the eucalyptus harvesting industry operates, our engineers have developed the E6 to be the obvious choice for this application.” The Log Max E6 features five debarking knives composed of four compound curve knives and one adjustable upper knife, a cast felling link enables it to operate in the toughest conditions.
