The H8HD Euca is an effective tool in forests where the diameter of eucalyptus stems can be up to 50 cm. The geometry of the new harvester head’s debarking knives and feed rollers improves the efficiency of H8HD Euca in debarking and processing both smaller and larger stems.
Ponsse’s heavy-duty frame structure means that the new harvester head can withstand the extreme loads of track-based machines according to Janne Loponen, Product Manager, harvester heads.
The H8HD Euca harvester head’s solid frame and robust tilt frame give the harvester head the durability needed in debarking.
Automated functions control saw movements according to the tree diameter and saw bar position and allow trees to be cut quickly.
All Ponsse harvester heads have been designed to withstand the toughest conditions and are characterised by a simple and solid structure which enables them to be used in
various harvesting applications, ranging from harvesters to track-based solutions.
All Ponsse harvester heads are manufactured and designed at the Ponsse factory in Vieremä implementing a design process which is comprehensive and covers, in addition to mechanical parts, the electronic control system, controls and software.
The manufacturing process is highly automated to ensure high quality and measuring accuracy. Durable hoses and delimbing knives form an important part of reliability.
