Waratah Forestry Equipment introduces the new FL90 Directional Felling Head

It is purpose-built to deliver strength, agility and intelligent performance in a size class that fits a wide range of applications.

Designed for 20+ metric ton carriers, the FL90 provides loggers with a high-performing, mid- to large-sized directional felling head engineered for demanding operations without the added weight of larger-class models. The FL90 is a head that’s powerful, durable and smart, in a size that gives them flexibility to their carrier size class and applications.

Big on performance and equally capable across a range of felling applications, the FL90 offers agility and versatility. With a net weight of 2,265 kg (4,993 lb.), a maximum grapple opening of 1,300 mm (51.2 in.) and a maximum sawing capacity of 960 mm (38 in.), the FL90 is built for shovel logging, steep slope conditions, late or final thinning, topping, storm damage clean-up and clear felling applications.

The FL90 utilizes Waratah’s TimberRiteTM X-26 control system, which provides production reporting and intelligent features designed to give operators greater visibility into performance and output, helping crews make informed decisions and maximize daily production. The FL90 felling head also incorporates reinforced structural components and proven Waratah engineering to help support long service life. Source
