Where to buy

With its consistent performance in second thinnings and early regeneration cuttings, the versatile H424 harvester head is equally suited for processing or debarking applications. This compact-size head is specially designed for mid-sized wheeled and tracked machines.

With slip-free four-wheel-drive feeding, the H424’s proven high-performance valve provides efficient hydraulic oil flow and head control. Its mainframe has high durability, with a reinforced saw box, increased tilt angle and an optional heavy-duty (HD) tilt frame for tracked applications. Feed roller arms feature durable bearings, built-in feed roller guards, and strengthened cylinders and pins, with hose routing increasing durability of feed motor hosing.

The efficient SuperCut 100S saw unit with automatic chain lubrication and tensioning has a maximum felling diameter of 620 mm (24.4 in.). Four moving delimbing knives, along with one fixed top knife and one fixed back knife, ensure high delimbing quality for all stem diameters.
