The 820 feller buncher is best suited to the 5400 felling saw and best applied to small diameter timber and first thinning applications. It is equipped with a lighter weight ER boom with less lift capacity compared to the 822E feller buncher.
The H820 harvester is equipped with a simple, conventional ten metre (33 ft) boom system, best suited to the TCi 544 harvesting head.
The H820 proves to be an exceptional solution for cost-effective harvesting, particularly in small diameter timber stands and thinning applications where the necessity for powerful lifting capacity is minimal. Its long-reach boom design significantly minimizes machine travel, leading to enhanced fuel efficiency and prolonged lifespan for track components.
Additionally, the lighter-weight and lower-capacity boom configurations for both machines require less counterweight, resulting in a reduction of the machine’s overall weight. This reduction not only improves fuel efficiency but also extends track life, ultimately contributing to a lower total cost of ownership for operators. Both boom systems are designed to provide a compact tuck, ensuring superior performance in thinning applications where maneuverability and precision are critical.
Furthermore, it’s worth noting that the 820 series machines will be marketed under the TCi brand in Europe, highlighting their tailored approach to meet the specific needs of the European market.
