PONSSE-har­ves­ter heads — For pro­duc­tive and efficient stem proces­sing

In Ponsse’s har­ves­ter heads, dura­bi­lity and relia­bi­lity come first. Har­ves­ter heads withs­tand ext­reme strain, while ensu­ring accu­racy.

PONSSE H5

An effec­tive solu­tion for thin­ning. The agile and precise PONSSE H5 har­ves­ter head is an expert in multi-stem­ming to speed up har­ves­ting, and it is effec­tive in proces­sing indi­vi­dual stems. PONSSE H5 is an all-round har­ves­ter head desig­ned speci­fically for efficient thin­ning.

PONSSE H6

Power in a com­pact size. The PONSSE H6 har­ves­ter head is ideal for diverse types of log­ging sites, ran­ging from first thin­ning to rege­ne­ra­tion fel­ling. The PONSSE H6 har­ves­ter head’s com­pact struc­ture, large feed rol­lers, excel­lent delim­bing kni­ves and the low grip fric­tion of the kni­ves are qua­li­ties that gua­ran­tee efficiency, also in dif­ficult con­di­tions.

PONSSE H7

The high-per­for­mance medium-sized har­ves­ter head is a com­pact, strong and power­ful har­ves­ter head for all types of log­ging sites. Its power­ful feed and excel­lent power-to-weight ratio improve pro­duc­ti­vity, both at softwood and hardwood sites. Maxi­mum feed speed at the cor­rect length, com­bi­ned with cont­rol­led feed acce­le­ra­tion and dece­le­ra­tion, reduces feed damage and impro­ves mac­hine efficiency. The advanced
Active Speed func­tion is a new fea­ture in the H7 har­ves­ter head. It allows the speed of the har­ves­ter head to be adjus­ted accor­ding to the tree species and stem dia­me­ter. This impro­ves the feed even furt­her and rai­ses work efficiency and pro­duc­ti­vity to a whole new level.

PONSSE H8

Power and per­for­mance. The PONSSE H8 har­ves­ter head enables fas­ter, more efficient and more eco­no­mical har­ves­ting, even when proces­sing large stems. The robust struc­ture, high sawing power, excel­lent grip geo­metry and unri­val­led agi­lity of the H8 har­ves­ter head make wor­king smooth and reduce unneces­sary inter­rup­tions. The agile H8 har­ves­ter head ensu­res the smooth flow of work in all types of forests, and even main­tains its sta­bi­lity in dif­ficult loca­tions. The advanced PONSSE Active Speed func­tion is a new fea­ture in the H8 har­ves­ter head. It allows the speed of the har­ves­ter head to be adjus­ted accor­ding to the tree species and stem dia­me­ter. This impro­ves
the feed even furt­her and rai­ses work efficiency and pro­duc­ti­vity to a whole new level.

Har­ves­ter heads for track-based mac­hi­nes

While all PONSSE har­ves­ter heads can also be fit­ted in track-based mac­hi­nes, the PONSSE H7 HD, H8 HD, H9 and H10 har­ves­ter heads are especially ideal for their special requi­re­ments.

PONSSE H7 HD

Efficiency and dura­bi­lity. The H7 HD har­ves­ter head is desig­ned speci­fically to meet the special requi­re­ments set by 20–25 tonne track-based mac­hi­nes. The har­ves­ter
head has a rein­forced struc­ture to withs­tand the stres­ses caused by track-based mac­hi­nes. Accu­rate auto­ma­tic cont­rol ensu­res a high cut­ting preci­sion directly to the cor­rect length at maxi­mum speed.

PONSSE H8 HD

More efficient and eco­no­mical har­ves­ting. Power­ful feed and excel­lent geo­metry, which firmly sup­ports even lar­ger stems, gua­ran­tee ext­reme pro­duc­ti­vity. PONSSE
H8 HD is also avai­lable equip­ped with a top saw for proces­sing knot­ted and bendy trees. It is par­ticu­larly ideal for 20–30 tonne track-based mac­hi­nes.

PONSSE H9

Power and relia­bi­lity. The four-rol­ler trac­tion of the H9 har­ves­ter head’s feed rol­lers also works per­fectly with the lar­gest stems and in multi-stem­ming. The unprece­den­tedly ver­sa­tile delim­bing kni­ves ensure that branc­hes are cut cleanly from indi­vi­dual trees and in multi-stem­ming, even if the dia­me­ter varies greatly. H9 can also be equip­ped with a rear delim­bing knife. H9 is best sui­ted for track-based mac­hi­nes of 24–35 ton­nes.

PONSSE H10

For har­ves­ting and proces­sing large trees. PONSSE H10 is desig­ned and built for heavy-duty proces­sing in deman­ding con­di­tions. Its solid struc­ture, firm grip and
power­ful feed gua­ran­tee a high efficiency ratio and relia­bi­lity, even at deman­ding sites.
H10 is best sui­ted for track-based mac­hi­nes of 25–40 ton­nes.

Har­ves­ter heads for euca­lyp­tus proces­sing

PONSSE H7 HD EUCA

Light and agile. Des­pite the rein­forced struc­ture, the har­ves­ter head is light and agile,
making work smooth and eco­no­mical. Fast sawing, com­bi­ned with the precise and strong three-rol­ler feed, gua­ran­tees highly efficient debar­king and delim­bing.

PONSSE H8 HD EUCA

Opti­mi­sed for debar­king. The debar­king kni­ves and feed rol­lers ensure a good debar­king results already during the first feed. In auto­ma­tic cont­rol, trees are fed quickly to the cor­rect length. The strong frame and tilt frame work in deman­ding con­di­tions.

PONSSE HH360 rota­tor enables the 360-degree rota­tion of har­ves­ter heads

The rota­tor is an inno­va­tive solu­tion that allows the har­ves­ter head to freely rotate 360
degrees. The rota­tor keeps the hoses coming from the crane in place and allows the har­ves­ter head to rotate freely wit­hout unex­pec­ted pro­duc­tion inter­rup­tions due to twis­ted hoses.

The rota­tor is avai­lable for PONSSE har­ves­ter head models H6, H7, H8, H7 HD, H8 HD, H7 HD Euca, and H8 HD Euca as a sepa­rate har­ves­ter head PONSSE H7 HD EUCA attach­ment.
