New From Waratah: 624HX Harvester Head

Waratah Forestry Equipment has launched an all-new HX line with its 624HX harvester heads. Building on generations of Waratah HTH attachments, the new extra-large harvester and loader-processor heads have been redesigned for extreme applications. 

Weighing in at 8,796 lb. (3990 kg), the redesigned 624HX harvester head delivers impressive log picking, feeding and handling with unmatched uptime. This efficient 600 series head provides the durability, reliability and speed loggers need to maximize every minute of work. The main frame and tilt frame provide improved durability and are optimized for weight and strength. The heads feature stronger clamping force to provide better log grip at the deck and holding power. 

With HD-swept profile delimb arms, the 624HX has improved log picking thanks to larger delimb openings. Feeding is improved by new diameter sensor technology, while arm design helps log transport. Larger saw capacities, improved saw control plus larger saw motors contribute more efficiency and power to the cut. 

A new main control valve provides better flow, cooler operation and higher working pressures. It also allows an improved layout and better feed-motor synchronization. The valve cover is stronger and sleeker with tough hinges and a quick latching system.

Features like the new auto-tension top saw, an improved measuring arm design, a hinged and removable oil tank and feed arm hose bulkheads contribute to accessible and simplified servicing. Easy-access grease points and grease banks enable the greasing of the entire head in less than 15 minutes.

Finally, the 624HX utilizes the TimberRite H-16 control system for optimum head performance, productivity and measuring accuracy. All Waratah heads come with an industry-leading warranty. These heads are now available to customers in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Asia Pacific, Brazil and Latin America.
