Waratah Forestry Equipment has unveiled the H216 — a new two-roller head added to its 200 Series lineup.

Built for hardwood, the H216 is strong enough to handle the toughest tree forms with accuracy and efficiency. Its simple design with excellent feed power, delimbing and large cut capacity provide productive tree harvesting.

"The H216 is specially designed for hardwood," said Brent Fisher, product marketing manager of Waratah. "This head not only provides our customers reliable performance in hardwood but is equally capable of handling softwood, debarking and everything in between."

Optimal Performance in Hardwood

Weighing in at 3296 lb., this 200 Series head features a two-roller design ideal for hardwood harvesting, late or final thinnings. Floating roller arms allow for superior and easy tree horizontal movement and easy log transport through the head. High performance single or multi-speed options keep timber moving quickly.

The H216 features the efficient SuperCut 100S saw unit with improved auto tensioning and easier servicing. With large sawing capacity, this head can cut logs up to 29.5 in. in diameter, while an optional top saw tackles heavy branching. The delimb arms provide excellent delimbing power across all diameter ranges, while drive wheel options offer maximum traction for crooked wood.

The H216 harvester head utilizes the TimberRite H-16 control system for optimum head performance, productivity and measuring accuracy.

Durability for Any Application

The H216 is built to tackle the toughest, crooked timber to the straightest postwood and everything in between. While also naturally capable in softwood, debarking or multi-tree handling, this head is designed for efficiency and agility in thinning and harvesting applications with quick cycle times.

A heavy-duty main chassis saw box, as well as tilt frame and guarding, provide added protection and reliability. Maintenance is simplified through one position daily servicing and easy open/close hinges on the valve cover.

The Waratah H216 is available to customers in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Asia Pacific, Brazil and Latin America.
