Rottne H21D with LogMax 7000 harvester head

rottne h21d

To avoid getting too heavy abstinence for forestry machines and logging equipment, we hereby wish to present a sturdy harvester – The Rottne H21D equipped with a LogMax 7000C harvester head.

Rottne Industri AB

Rottne Industri AB, the small and independent forest machine manufacturer in south Sweden who has managed to stay in the founder’s family. In the 80’s and 90’s when Finnish concerns bought most of the machine manufacturers, Kockums, ÖSA, Mini Bruunett, Timberjack, Lokomo, SMV and some more, Rottne stayed on their own.

Already in 1968, they introduced a machine that would become one of the most famous brand names within CTL machinery – Rottne Blondin. “The Blond” was manufactured until 1988 in many versions; Forwarders, processors, harvesters, dumpers and probably more. It was a simple machine, based on a Ford tractor. The simplicity made it cheap to own as there were not many custom-made components involved.

However, by mid 80’s the technology race in the forest machine business had passed Rottne Industri AB, so they had to do something. And they did …

Today

Today Rottne is fighting in the major league among the large harvesters with the H21D. Except for the colors, there are no traces left from the Blondin. The Rottne harvester range is the H8, H11 and top of the line H21D.

The forwarder range contains no less than six models: F10, F11, F13, F15, F18 and F20.
