harvesting , this harvesting head was specially designed for use with the 1470G harvester . A powerful two roller head , the H290 features dual-speed feeding , delivering high feed force and feed speeds with excellent delimbing .
“ Known for a durable HD structure , high-capacity main saw and optional top saw – it brings further productivity in demanding applications ,” the manufacturer stated .
H413 harvesting head The John Deere H413 is designed to tackle a variety of harvesting jobs , including early to late thinnings and light regeneration harvesting . The strong frame structure and hydraulics on the H413 model increases productivity and boosts handling control .
The powerful saw unit on the H413 harvesting head fells and crosscuts with speed and precision . This unique continuous four-wheel drive with hydraulically connected feed rollers and mechanical differential lock ensures strong , fast feeding .
Four moving knives inside the H413 harvester head deliver excellent delimbing performance . The H413 excels when paired with multi-tree-handling equipment . Additionally , the hydraulic valve solution streamlines its hydraulic cylinders and motors , extending the life of the hoses .
H415 harvesting head Boasting the strength and stamina for large timber , the John Deere H415 combines large timber cutting power with “ excellent delimbing quality , offering unprecedented tree-processing performance ”.
A feed-roller-arm geometry ensures feed rollers grip solidly and reliably carry trunks in all diameter ranges . The H415 is well suited for different types of regeneration harvesting , featuring three different frames – one for normal trunks ( narrow stem ), another for dealing with large buttflare ( wide stem ), and a top saw for pile processing and hardwood . Feeding and delimbing is a smooth process on the H415 harvesting head , as it is equipped with optional MultiSpeed feeding . The head is equipped with feed motors that can be adjusted to three variable feeding speeds , which are automatically controlled according to tree diameter , feed speed and tree species .

Delimbing starts at first gear , as MultiSpeed provides high torque at a low speed . MultiSpeed is a popular option for the H415 harvester head because it offers the highest possible hydraulic power and feed torque for customers working on sites with large trees and heavy branches .
The higher frame of the H415 helps control the felling process , and the hydraulics solution makes the hoses more durable . Feeding is handled efficiently , due to excellent grip and trunk management features as well as the location of the delimbing knives .
