Tractor Based Heads

A modern tractor is an excellent base machine for seasonal timber harvesting. Typically, a tractor-based timber harvester is used in forestry work for part of the year. For the rest of the year the tractor is used for agricultural work or for contracting at peat production sites.

When you consider equipping a tractor for timber harvesting, you should think of the round-the-year use of the tractor carefully. In general, the power demand of the base machine and the type of the transmission system depend on the use of the tractor for other purposes than forestry work. Otherwise, the equipment to convert a tractor into a forest machine is the result of combining these aspects in the best possible manner. The use of a tractor for forestry work means that certain equipment must be excluded and certain other equipment is required to make the assembly functional.
