Harvester head for 8 tonne excavator

[GeoF]

Just putting the feelers out to see if there are any secondhand harvester heads suitable for an 8 tonne excavator for sale?

On an 8 tonner, a roller head is going to eat every fluid ounce of hydraulic flow you've got. What are you cutting in the main? Hard or softwood?

 

Keto 51 is probably going to be most numerous head available to find second hand. Not a great fan of Keto myself, only because they can't compete with a mainstream head from the main manufacturers.

 

There is a very small Logmax fitted to an 8 tonner which I am told made an appearance at the APF show.

 

Off the top of my head you've got Logset, Viking, Keto, SP, Waratah(JD), Logmax, Komatsu*, Ponsse, AFM, FMS Stroke head, Kesla easily available. 

 

Logmax makes the best case.
