New From Waratah: H216 Hardwood Head
Waratah Forestry Equipment has added to the 200 series lineup with the H216—a new two-roller head built for hardwood. The H216 is strong enough to handle the toughest tree forms with accuracy and efficiency. Its simple design with excellent feed power, delimbing, and large cut capacity provide productive tree harvesting. Weighing in at 3,296 lb., the H216 is ideal for hardwood harvesting, late or final thinnings. Floating roller arms allow for superior and easy tree horizontal movement and easy log transport through the head. High performance single or multi-speed options keep timber moving quickly.
