Waratah products

The Waratah H290 is a powerful, high-capacity new-generation harvester head. Built for superior performance in regeneration harvesting, it was specially designed for use with large wheel-and-track-based harvesters. The H290 features the highly efficient SuperCut 100 saw unit and can fell and process trees up to 760 mm (29.5 in.) in diameter. The SuperCut saw unit minimizes bucking damage, and with its integrated automatic chain lubrication and tensioning system, improves cutting performance while reducing maintenance time. The optional color marking system improves accuracy and ensures low dye consumption. Four moving delimbing knives and one fixed, adjustable top knife follow the contours of the stem. The geometry of these knives ensures excellent delimbing quality — from large diameters down to small top diameters. New dual-speed feed motors, with an enormous feed force of up to 41.6 kN (9,352 lbf), handle large-volume harvesting with optimum feed force and speed.

The Waratah H413 is designed to carry out a wide range of harvesting jobs from early to late thinnings, to light regeneration harvesting. It has outstanding multi-tree-handling qualities, a compact frame design, and excellent power-to-weight ratios. The powerful, well-positioned saw unit of the H413 masters fast and precise felling and crosscutting. The H413 features four feed rollers that form a circle around the stem. This unique continuous four-wheel-drive with hydraulic connected feed rollers and mechanical differential lock ensures strong, fast feeding. Thanks to a short frame and optimal placement of the one fixed delimbing and four moving knives, the Waratah H413 delivers superb delimbing performance. The H413 excels when paired with multi-tree-handling equipment.

The Waratah FL85 Series II felling head gives you maximum versatility. It’s a felling head, grapple, and saw — all in one. But this is no jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none. This well-engineered, highly productive attachment is made for major cutting and harvesting. The efficient SuperCut 300 saw unit provides fast cutting cycles and a maximum felling diameter of 925 mm (36.0 in.). The SuperCut saw unit’s automatic chain lubrication and tensioning improves cutting performance and reduces maintenance time. There’s a hydraulic snubber for controlled side-to-side motion, high grapple arm gripping force to hold the largest of trees, and a unique upper-boom link system for simple installation on log loaders, excavators, and feller bunchers. What does all this mean in the woods? Harvesting standing and storm-damaged timber. Picking, sorting, and piling with one attachment. Fewer cuts on large timber. And minimal use of manual felling.
