Waratah Forestry Equipment has launched the all-new H216X harvesting head, which is designed to tackle the brutal demands of hardwood.
Made for tracked machines and harsh applications, the two-roller H216X has purpose-built features to withstand ruthless hardwood stress.
The new harvesting head is ideal for harvesting late or final thinnings, and it is naturally capable in softwood or debarking applications, as well.
“The H216X provides operators with the heavy-duty features they need to tackle hardwood while helping to maximize accuracy at the same time,” said Brent Fisher, Product Marketing Manager for Waratah Forestry Equipment.
“It delivers the high-performance feeding and agility crews want while providing the measuring accuracy, extra-large sawing capacity and output they need.”
The H216X offers versatility and strength, with a net weight of 1,591 kg, or 1,705 kg with topsaw, a maximum upper delimb opening of 65 cm and a maximum sawing capacity of 75 cm.
It incorporates reinforced, heavy-duty structural components and proven Waratah engineering to help support long service life, no matter the working conditions.
“We wanted operators to have the confidence to handle crooked hardwood and harsh conditions — whatever challenge the woods throws at them,” Fisher said. “So, we engineered the H216X — a true performer that’s efficient, accurate, durable and built to work.”
The H216X utilizes Waratah’s TimberRite H-16 system, which helps elevate head control while providing connectivity options to help keep loggers efficient, productive and in the know.
