H424

Powerful harvester head

The H424 is especially designed for the mid-sized John Deere 1170E and 1270E wheel harvesters. The H424 features an excellent power-to-weight ratio and a compact size, which make it highly maneuverable even in dense thinning stands. The main frame is machined as one piece, which provides high dimensional accuracy. New feed-roller arms feature more durable bearings, built-in feed-roller guards, strengthened cylinders and pins, and well-protected hose routings. Four moving delimbing knives, one fixed top knife, and one fixed back knife follow the contours of the stem. The redesigned knife geometry and long cutting edges of the H414 ensure  excellent delimbing quality for all stem diameters. The SuperCut 100 saw unit has a maximum felling diameter of 620 mm, for excellent performance from early thinnings up to early regeneration felling.
