Rottne H8D is a small and versatile harvester with unique characteristics including exact tracking, swing arms on the wheels, variable transmission and automatic anti-spin. This makes it very easy-to-operate with minimum space requirements, providing the conditions for smooth and fluent thinning and an undamaged stand as well as high productivity. Source: Timberbiz
This is an ideal harvester for stand-operating thinning and with various working route system options it can handle strip road distances without manual intermediate zone felling.
Since Rottne H8D works inside the stand, it’s easier for the operator to decide which trees need to be thinned as it is never more than 6–7 metres to the trees. This means more uniform thinning extraction, which gives both greater volume and added value and probably also a less storm sensitive stand.
The machine is powered by a Stage V John Deere diesel engine that comfortably fulfills applicable emission requirements for current diesel engines.
Improvements and new features:
- Variable transmission with anti-spin
- Lower noise level
- Improved hose routing
- New oil cooling
- New hose routing and new cylinders on Rottne EGS406
- Stage V engine with reversible fan
- Electrically operated cab-tilt and engine hood
- Larger fuel tank (one tank instead of two as on H8B)
- Reinforced crane with new hose routing
- Large water tank for the stump spray application.
