The H219 is the second new two-wheel-drive harvester head from John Deere Forestry in a short time. A few weeks ago, the H212 was presented. The H219 is mainly for final cutting and the H212 for thinning.
Harvester head JD H219
The H219 cuts 75 cm, weighs 2 tons including rotator, and is equipped with the saw unit SuperCut 100S as standard equipment. This harvester head has two-gear feed motors that adapt the feeding speed according to the size of the tree it´s processing. Thin stems – higher speed, thick stems – lower speed but more traction. The SuperCut 100S saw unit has a new, automatic chain tensioning with a mechanic locking of the saw bar.
The H219 will most likely be a strong competitor to the LogMax 7000C.
