H11 with wide tracks
The Rottne harvester range consists of the four models H8 , H11 , H14 and H21 .
They are all equipped with the same “ comfortable and spacious ” cab , which is fixed on the H8 and swivelling / levelling on the other three . The Rottne Forester bucking system is state-of-the-art and available with software for value bucking or prio bucking .
In addition to Rottne and SP heads Rottne harvesters now also be delivered with heads from Log Max .
The small stand operating thinning harvester Rottne H8B will be replaced by an updated version H8D this year . The basic concept with four wheels and pendulum wheel arms will be the same but it will have a new stronger FT4 engine equipped with an integrated filter system comprising a diesel catalyst ( DOC ), a diesel particulate filter ( DPF ) and a SCR system with AdBlue . The transmission and the hydraulics will also be changed for
better performance .
The H11D is a very versatile harvester in terms of its configuration , with six or eight wheels . It is a very flexible harvester for thinning and medium final felling . The high number of options available make it possible to adapt the harvester for different harvesting conditions . Wide tracks front and rear ensure low ground pressure and make the harvester ideal for working on wet ground .
The harvester is available with the different heads from the Rottne
EGS596 to the SP 461LF , SP561LF , and now also with Log Max 4000T or 5000D .
The H14C is a well proven 6-wheeled harvester for late thinning and final felling with head options EGS596 , SP561LF and now also Log Max 5000D .
The H21D is a very strong harvester with high capacity developed for heavy final felling and also coping with tough and steep terrain . The H21D has over the past year received some 80 individual upgrades to make it an
even more efficient harvester . The major improvements concern the crane , the hydraulic system and the EGS706 head .
The H21D can be ordered as six or eight-wheel drive and the eightwheel version is equipped with balanced bogie and tracks front and rear for a high tractive force ( 230 kN ), perfect in steep terrain .
The SP761 LF head makes the H21D better-suited to markets with a lot of hardwood and now the Log Max 6000B or Log Max 7000C provide similar alternatives .
The Rottne H21D is perfect for final felling on steep slopes or soft soils
