Log Max 6000V Top Saw is well-suited for both wheeled and tracked harvesters. With the Top Saw, you can maximize the timber yield from every log, and the new function, Tilt Control, enables you to place the head at any desired tilt angle. 6000V Top Saw will be available on the market during Q1 2026.
Tilt Control
The new Tilt Control system enables you to place the head at any desired tilt angle. Tilt Control comes as standard and the valve for this function is mounted below the existing tilt valve on the left block.
Tilt Control is a game changer when processing heavily limbed trees or when working in steep terrain.
OPTIMIZED GEOMETRY AND DESIGN OF THE SAW BOX
The saw box has been redesigned and extended to accommodate saw bars up to 90 cm in length, a new root protection plate providing enhanced protection to the chain against roots and enables easier cutting of larger trees with a maximum diameter of 78,4 cm (30.9”).
Furthermore, the footprint of the saw box has been reduced, making it particularly advantageous in snowy conditions.

OUTSTANDING LENGTH MEASUREMENT
The length measurement function has been significantly improved to enhance accuracy. Changes include redesigning the measure wheel cylinder, updating the hydraulic circuit, reinforcing the measuring wheel arm and attachment, the measuring wheel is larger in diameter. These enhancements allow the measuring wheel to precisely follow the stem’s contour, resulting in superior measurement results.
An impressive saw unit
The Log Max 6000V Top Saw is equipped with two 318 MK2 with 30cc motors. Through meticulous material selection and innovative design concepts, these units significantly reduces maintenance requirements while maximizing durability. New grease nipples have been added to the front sides, enabling easy application of grease to safeguard against moisture, dirt, and debris.
The Log Max 6000V saw bar bracket has undergone significant improvements. It now includes a protective cover and rubber seals to seal off the bracket, preventing the infiltration of dirt and dust. The saw bar holder has been upgraded with premium-grade Hardox 450 material and an improved design. The attachment mechanism for the saw bar itself has been reinforced, ensuring enhanced strength and longevity.
Lubrication points
In order for all lubrication to be done when the head is in the tilted position, the head has accessible lubrication points. The lubrication points are brought forward on the saw box so that they are easy to get at. It increases safety, facilitates maintenance work, and shortens downtime.
Safety pin
To simplify service, facilitate transport and increase safety, a “Safety Pin” has replaced the safety chain, which forms a locking mechanism between the frame and the felling link. You can now link a bracket under the rotator to a stand in the frame with the help of a locking pin.
Rotator control
To reduce cost, it is possible to choose the rotator control option, which means that the rotator is controlled from the head instead of from the base machine.
The advantages are that it frees weight on the base machine by eliminating between 20-30 m of hose and also reduces costs. If the option is chosen, an extra valve is mounted to the head.
Reinforced frame
To increase durability and reduce the risk of cracks in the frame, we have created a reinforced attachment for the upper delimbing knife. The frame is reinforced at the mainline, where the upper delimbing knife slides on the frame to increase durability and extend its life span.
Active Friction Control – AFC
The AFC system is our heads’ key technology and allows our heads to harvest trees with high precision and minimal friction.
The goal of the AFC is to minimize the friction between the trunk and the frame, which leads to minimal wear on the unit and lower operating costs because the head doesn’t use more power than necessary.
The wood quality will also be high, as neither knives nor feed wheels need to use unnecessary force that damages the wood during processing.
Log Mate 510
Log Mate 510 is our control system which is specially developed for Log Max harvester heads and is the absolute best control system for our products.
The control system is robust and compact and of the highest quality.
It is Windows-based, which simplifies the administration and updating of the system and provides good support for all new programs and services. The system uses the latest forest standard StanForD 2010 v2 and v3 and consists of three modules, screen, cabin, and head module.
Hydraulics
The hydraulics of our heads are characterized by a simple design. We use a proven technology that we trust and that results in reliable hose management and stable pressures throughout.
Our system has small hydraulic losses, which means that we get the most out of the head’s performance.
Feed rollers
To optimize the head’s function, you need to choose the feed rollers that fit both your head, but also the type of forest that you work in the most. Our feed rollers always work perpendicular to the tree, in contrast to many other units that have angled feed rollers. Having a straight feed roller leads above all to reduced friction losses but also to minimal penetration into the trunk.
