Introducing the large H Series. A new standard for logging.

H Series forest machines

Imagine a production system that not only drives productivity but also creates a lasting legacy for generations to come. With the large H production system, we take productivity to new heights.

The new, large size-class H Series harvesters and forwarders demonstrate higher productivity with significantly lower fuel consumption, better stability and improved operator ergonomics.

1470H Harvester

More productivity with less fuel

Frame lock, high performing engines and improved hydraulics improve drivability and provide increased productivity with less fuel per m3 harvested.

New hydraulics with three dedicated pumps offer more hydraulic power and higher work pressure for feeding. The system is optimized and ensures a balanced fuel economy.

Harvester cabin

Automation and intelligence as standard

Intelligent Boom Control IBC becomes a standard feature in our large H Series harvesters, and IBC 3.0. becomes a standard feature in H Series forwarders. 

Intelligent Cabin Key is a personal remote key to unlock the machine door and open the PC and TimberMatic control system with operator-specific settings. When the operator opens the door lock remotely, the machine is powered, the PC is started and the approach lights are lit automatically. The operator can just start the engine and the machine is ready to work.

1270H Harvester

Stronger booms

New booms have increased lift and slew forces. They offer more power and longer boom reaches.

The new H7 boom for harvesters offers approximately 10% more lift power and slewing torque. The new H9 boom also has the same 10% increase in lift power, and the slewing torque is 5% more than in the previous model.

The F10 forwarder boom has a new longer reach of 10.2 meters. The corresponding longer reach in the F9 boom is 10.7 meters. The hydraulic hosing and hose routings have been improved. The new F10 is the strongest forwarder boom in the market. With the 40% increased boom lift torque and 22% higher slewing torque, larger grapple options become available.

Timbermatic H

Ease of use

The TimberMatic H control system with the integrated TimberMatic Maps helps the operator achieve superior performance and productivity.

TimberMatic H automation offers ease of use and improved ergonomics. The new interface is simple and easily accessible. The H automation system creates a consistent user experience across all forestry products. The new visualization includes options for night and daylight view. And the on-screen view only shows the info relevant to the situation.

Cabin comfort

The rotating and levelling cabin becomes standard in the large H Series. The cabins have an excellent view to the working area, an improved climate control system and a ±30° increased cabin turning angle. Better lights, lower noise level and more storage space for the operator. A new secondary display for base machine functions and cameras, multiple charging outlets, a new pedal for selecting the drive direction, a new premium audio system with subwoofer and treble speakers.

Intelligent Boom Control IBC and button joysticks

With IBC, boom control is precise, fast and easy because the operator can focus on controlling the grapple rather than the boom joint movements. IBC improves work safety and makes the work easier.

Configurable button joysticks in harvesters make the everyday work easier.

Easy maintenance

Easier daily maintenance

Daily servicing is made easy. The liquid inlets are all located in the same easily accessible place. All machines have electric engine oil level sensors and a totally new central greasing system for ease of use. There are also several practical storages around the machine.

Improvements in serviceability

Fewer individual service tasks and centralized, easily accessible service points make it easy to service the H Series machines. Optional automatic lubrication and central greasing save time. The engine oil level check is automatically visualized on the TimberMatic screen on start-up.

Forest machine service

Up to 1000h service intervals

Up to 1000h service intervals with a service contract and a shorter service time means less downtime and lower costs.

Intelligent Boom Control IBC 3.0. as standard

IBC 3.0 becomes standard in the large H Series forwarders.

With IBC 3.0, at the push of a button, the boom automatically moves to the position from which the previous grapple load was taken – both when loading and unloading logs. The boom can also be automatically moved into transport position and back at the push of a button.

2510H Forwarder load space

Increased load capacity and expanded load area

The new forwarders have an increased load capacity and an expanded load area with two new size options with extendable bunks.

The 7.5m² load area option is optimal for handling heavy hardwood and eucalyptus logs, while the 8.5m² load area is recommended for the 2510H model with softwood.
