EFFECTIVE THINNING HARVESTER
Rottne H-8 is an ideal harvester for stand operated thinning, and with various working route system options it can handle strip road distances of up to 35 metres without manual intermediate zone felling.
The two-part chassis with an articulated joint in the centre produces precise tracking, and when combined with its levelling capabilities, this harvester becomes extremely flexible and easy to drive when working on a secondary road out in the stand. An optional rear vision system with a camera mounted on the back of the cab gives the operator a better overview. When reversing, pictures from the camera are automatically displayed on the D5 display. RK 50 is a parallel acting loader with a 1.4 metre extension and tilt function for the turntable.
The loader is thus extremely flexible and versatile in dense thinnings.
