Waratah Forestry Equipment launches new H427 and H427X harvester heads

Built to handle large timber with high productivity and precision.

As the largest heads in the 400 Series lineup, the H427 and H427X are built to give loggers the confidence they need in the forest. Whether it’s the versatility of the H427 or the heavy-duty capabilities of the H427X, both models are designed to enhance performance, durability, productivity and reliability in demanding environments.

The rugged H427 is built for big timber and demanding applications from late thinning to the final cut. Featuring a strong frame, high-performance saws including an optional top saw and HD tilt frame, it delivers durability, feed force and cut capacity needed for reliable productivity. Its saws are a standout feature, providing fast, precise cutting even in the toughest conditions.

With an operating weight of 1,655 kg (3,649 lb.), the H427 balances strength and stability in rugged forestry conditions. The latest measuring system design improves length and diameter accuracy, while an efficient control valve and optimized four-roller feed arm geometry ensure consistent performance on wheeled and tracked carriers.
