Logset launches their new eight-wheeled harvesters

By the end of 2014, Logset will have two eight-wheeled harvester models on the market.

The new GTE series is an eight-wheeled version of the GT harvester. The GTE series (6HP GTE and 8H GTE) was developed to provide greater stability on steep terrain and increased floatation on soft soils. The end result is a large increase in the tractive force of the harvesters. The GTE series also feature an improved cabin. It has tinted Lexan windows and an improved up and down view for the operator. The work lights have better protection, and the transportation height is now lower. The cab has a more rounded profile, and has lower noise levels than before. The harvesters have the same engine compartments as the six-wheeled machines, but the rear chassis has been lengthened from the centre joint to the rear bogie, in order to fit the extra two wheels. The harvesters also have larger fuel (600 l / 159 gal) and hydraulic tanks. Both tanks can be tilted to the side when service access to the hydraulic pumps is needed. Selected specifications for the two harvesters are included in the table below. Source: www.logset.com
