Harvester heads

The H423 has been designed for thinnings and small-size trees. The design goals were ease of use, durability, performance, economy, carefully considered hose routings and easy access to service points.

H424 is a 4WD head primarily for later thinning and final felling. The changes based on customer feedback improve productivity, ease of service, durability, uptime and measuring accuracy, and reduce daily operating costs. The H424 is equipped with SuperCut 100S saw unit.

The robust H425 and H425HD harvester heads are designed for big trees and require a large base machine. John Deere harvester heads are equipped with the new SuperCut 100S saw unit, which features reliable chain tensioning, facilitates saw chain replacement, and enables the use of wide-tail saw bars.

H212 is a harvester head intended for thinning operations. It is easy to operate and produces high quality logs. H212 has three moving knives and it is narrow also when fully open which helps working in dense thinning forests.

The two-wheel-drive H219 has two-gear feed motors. The head's SuperCut 100S has a new chain tensioning unit with automatic chain tensioning.

The H270 Series II is engineered for softwood and crooked hardwood, and configured to quickly and easily grab trees for felling. New optional floating front knife for heavy branching complements a strong knife set. Maximized hydraulic operating pressure enables fast feeding and improved saw performance. Standard SuperCut 100 features automatic chain tensioning for extra efficiency, longer chain life, and fewer service intervals. The multi-tree-handling option with improved geometry and grabbing force keeps trees in a tight grip.
