Introducing the 7000XTDS Harvester Head
As the forestry industry advances with technological improvements, the partnership between Quadco and Log Max combines decades of experience to introduce the new cutting-edge 7000XTDS Harvester Head. Both companies are renowned for their robust and efficient designs, and the 7000XTDS Harvester Head is a testament to their commitment to enhancing productivity and operator satisfaction in forest operations.
Key Features of the 7000XTDS Harvester Head
The 7000XTDS is not just an improvement but a revolution in harvesting technology. By integrating Quadco’s Intermittent Disc Saw into Log Max’s acclaimed 7000XT model, this harvester head reduces downtime and operational costs compared to traditional chain saw systems. Its standout feature, the swing-out disc saw, boasts a cutting speed of 600-700 rpm, ensuring high-quality cuts and exceptional productivity.
Combined with the Logmax Logmate 510 Control system, this package will ensure high-quality cuts and exceptional productivity.
Advantages of Disc Saw Felling Over Traditional Methods
Traditional chain systems are prone to wear and damage, particularly in challenging conditions such as heavy underbrush or mixed wood stands. The 7000XTDS’s disc saw offers a low-maintenance, reliable alternative that enhances the durability and uptime of harvesting operations. Its design allows for quick and easy maintenance checks and minimal tooth damage, extending the life of the cutting components.
The Design and Operational Benefits of the 7000XTDS
This harvester head features a solid center and a rotating ring that enables instant cutting speed, making it ideal for delimbing, topping challenging trees, and clearing underbrush. The fixed-mount and Quadco-designed lateral tilt mechanism offer unmatched control and maneuverability, adding to its operational efficiency.
Ease of Use and Maintenance
Designed with the operator in mind, the 7000XTDS is as user-friendly as it is powerful. The fixed head design with the patented Quadco 360 degree rotate, allows operators to easily extricate the machine from difficult spots and execute tight turns without impacting the surrounding area. Simple maintenance routines—such as a quick 1000-hour check for wear—make this harvester head a favorite among fleet owners for its ease of use and reduced training requirements.
Setting New Standards in Forestry Operations
The 7000XTDS Harvester Head is more than an equipment upgrade—it’s a significant leap forward in forestry technology. With its superior design, ease of maintenance, failsafe measuring system, and robust construction, it sets new standards in the industry, promising enhanced operational efficiency and reduced costs. For professional contractors and fleet owners, the 7000XTDS offers a compelling combination of performance, reliability, and ease of use, making it an essential tool for modern forestry operations.
