Komatsu Forest - Model 901XC - Agile Thinning Harvester
FromKomatsu Forest
An agile thinning harvester for anyone harvesting in steep and difficult terrain. The eight-wheel design ensures an especially stable harvester that also leaves less of a mark thanks to its low ground pressure.

Agile and low-impact thinning
When thinning in dense forests, a harvester manoeuvred with both ease and agility without impacting standing forest is a must.
Our thinning harvesters are designed to do just that. Thanks to their compact size, they can operate in confined spaces and both the cab and the crane are designed for smooth movements to reduce the risk of damaging standing forest.
Another advantage is our tried-and-tested parallel crane, which simplifies crane operation. Thanks to a combination of strength and speed, it also contributes to efficient work methods.

A good overview simplifies the work
While good visibility is always an advantage, in thinning it is especially important. Our harvester cab is designed to provide the operator with extremely good views of both the head and the treetops. Moreover, our thinning harvesters are also lower than the larger machines, enabling you to see the trees from a better angle when thinning.
In a Komatsu harvester, you sit facing the same direction as the crane, which makes thinning easier as you can see exactly where you can extend the crane. This reduces the risk of misjudging the crane`s position, meaning less damage to standing forest.

Low ground pressure and high stability
The XC machines are specially developed for logging in hilly terrain and on soft ground. Thanks to the 8-wheel design, our machines have a lower ground pressure, which makes them more gentle on the ground.
A factor that`s also important when operating in demanding conditions is stability. Thanks to the Komatsu-concept, our harvesters have a design that contributes to making them among the most stable harvesters on the market. The XC machines take this one step further, with a double oscillating bogie on the rear frame, which makes sure the machine follows irregularities in the terrain in a smooth and forgiving manner while delivering excellent manoeuvrability in challenging terrain conditions.
