Waratah Forestry Equipment unveils new H427 harvester head

Built for extreme forestry conditions, the H427 delivers strong performance, durability and precision for harvesting large timber on steep and rugged terrain.

The H427 is purpose-built to meet the demands of high-production harvesting in larger timber conditions. Its design enhances operational efficiency, ensures long-term durability and simplifies maintenance, supporting reliable performance in the forest.

Featuring a top saw, strong frame and optional HD tilt frame, the H427 delivers reliable performance and productivity. Its high feed force and 760 mm (29.9 in.) maximum cut capacity make it ideal for harvesting large-diameter timber. Updated measuring systems improve length and diameter accuracy for efficient, high-output processing. With an operating weight from 1680 kg (3,704 lb.), the H427 offers agility with the durability and stability needed for the most demanding applications. Its efficient, powerful control valve and optimized four-roller feed arm geometry ensure consistent productivity on wheeled and tracked carriers.

The four-knife delimbing system delivers consistent, clean results, while simplified service access and a streamlined design help reduce downtime in the field. The durable H427 offers long-lasting reliability in high-impact forestry applications.

As with all Waratah products, the H427 comes with easily accessible support for dealers and customers, as well as genuine Waratah parts with an industry-leading warranty. The Waratah H427 will be available to customers in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Africa, Brazil and Latin America starting in early 2026.  Source
