ROTTNE-H8<br />
A SMALL HARVESTER WITH<br />
HUGE POTENTIAL<br />
Several evaluation studies have shown<br />
that stand-operating harvesters produce<br />
the most consistent resu<strong>lt</strong>s during<br />
mechanical thinning. <strong>Rottne</strong> H-8 has all<br />
the qualities required to ensure successful<br />
thinning using secondary roads in the<br />
stand.<br />
The pendulum arm system means that<br />
the machine width is always maintained,<br />
even when the ground is uneven or you<br />
encounter an obstacle. The operator sits<br />
in a cab offering superb all-round visibility,<br />
while hydrostatic operation and precise<br />
tracking make this small yet flexible<br />
harvester even more versatile and easy to<br />
move forwards or backwards with great<br />
precision.<br />
It is easier to select the right tree when<br />
the operator is never more than 6-7 metres<br />
from the trees to be felled and the<br />
risk of damage to standing forest is also<br />
reduced considerably more than if thinning<br />
were to be performed from a strip<br />
road 10-12 metres away.<br />
When the harvester is equipped with a<br />
system for GPS/GIS, the forwarder operator<br />
can access tract maps with working<br />
routes and timber volumes per strip<br />
road to ensure that everything is being<br />
collected. The landowner can also access<br />
detailed information about thinning for his<br />
forest management plan.<br />
