Harvester heads

[Robied]

Nice machine I am not a lover of logmax unless it's the really big ones but for hardwood I stand by the keto if it's bends you want to go round but do need alot of flow they say the sp heads wilsons are selling are good but in fact most of them are good but that machine is to high spec for a stroke I head I would say

My choice of heads are:

AFM 45, 50

Foresteri F25RN

Keto 150

Lako 43HD

Logmax 4000, 5000

Waratah HTH250HD, HTH450, HTH460

Have to say the logmax not as heavy as I thought quite impressive stats they are basically what used to be known as grangard who are the agents for them now ?

[Elmsdown Forestry]

Agent for neuson is foretract up in Cumbria not sure who the agent for logmax is. Any idea about the other heads on the list?

Think treetop forestry are the log max agents.

In Komatsu's dreams! Viking heads seem to be most common replacement on Valmets / Komatsu's.

 

SP heads - blow up with too much pressure behind them but I do like them.

 

I run a H754 on a TJ harvester; about to stuff some decent sweet chestnut through it - will report on performance; some say 4wd heads are good on hardwood; others don't and prefer 2wd heads on hardwood. Tis a waratah aye.

 

Stroke heads - slow; do they pay?

 

Have you seen the price of Logmax heads; Good big heads tho.

 

Keto - superb value for money although never had one (I lie I had a 100 but never fitted it).

 

AFM - very fast heads indeed.

waratah 460 is TJ/JD 754 so will take some pics or other info if you need. Supreme thinnings head, might lack aggression on h/w - will update.

 

What you really want is an old 762c head haha

 

Valmet 360.2 pictured is a good strong head but an a-hole to work on. As for the Maxi computer system, just a pig.

Have heard that the Waratah is the best head for hardwoods but will see what neuson come back with price wise.

 

Viking ment to be very good heads but not recommended on the machine we are looking at.

 

Logmax may be an issue then if they are big as need quite a compact head for chestnut.
