The direct route to productivity Nimble and light yet compact and strong – and with unbeatably high capacity. This is the combination that characterises the two-wheel drive Komatsu S82 head. This is what makes it highly effective for thinning dense, challenging stands. One of the reasons behind the high productivity is the two-wheel feed that allows the stems to turn in the head, even those that are forked or very crooked. Another function that contributes to the high productivity is Flex Friction Control, which senses the stem's position relative to the frame and adjusts the knives' contact pressure against the stem accordingly. The Komatsu S82 is equipped with a Constant Cut saw unit. This saw unit limits the chain speed to a maximum of 40m/s, which guarantees a high cutting speed without compromising safety. Naturally, the Komatsu S82 can be equipped with multi-tree handling, which further enhances its production capacity. Smart hose routing, a well-protected head computer and easy servicing are other factors that help minimise unscheduled downtime and increase productivity. The result is a head with a fast feed, rapid cutting, high reliability and reduced maintenance. Quite simply, an extremely productive head.
