Quadco’s Intermittent Disc Saw is integrated into Log Max’s 7000XT harvester head model.
As the forestry industry advances with technological improvements, the partnership between Quadco and Log Max combines decades of experience to introduce the new cutting-edge 7000XTDS Harvester Head. Both companies are renowned for their robust and efficient designs, and the 7000XTDS Harvester Head is a testament to their commitment to enhancing productivity and operator satisfaction in forest operations.
The 7000XTDS is not just an improvement but a revolution in harvesting technology. By integrating Quadco’s Intermittent Disc Saw into Log Max’s acclaimed 7000XT model, this harvester head reduces downtime and operational costs compared to traditional chain saw systems. Its standout feature, the swing-out disc saw, boasts a cutting speed of 600-700 rpm, ensuring high-quality cuts and exceptional productivity.
Combined with the Logmax Logmate 510 Control system, this package will ensure high-quality cuts and good productivity. Traditional chain systems are prone to wear and damage, particularly in challenging conditions such as heavy underbrush or mixed wood stands. The 7000XTDS’s disc saw offers a low-maintenance, reliable alternative that enhances the durability and uptime of harvesting operations. Its design allows for quick and easy maintenance checks and minimal tooth damage, extending the life of the cutting components.
This harvester head features a solid centre and a rotating ring that enables instant cutting speed, making it ideal for delimbing, topping challenging trees, and clearing underbrush. The fixed-mount and Quadco-designed lateral tilt mechanism offer good control and manoeuvrability, adding to its operational efficiency.
Designed with the operator in mind, the 7000XTDS is as user-friendly as it is powerful. The fixed head design with the patented Quadco 360 degree rotate, allows operators to easily extricate the machine from difficult spots and execute tight turns without impacting the surrounding area. Simple maintenance routines—such as a quick 1000-hour check for wear—make this harvester head a favourite among fleet owners for its ease of use and reduced training requirements. Source
