The compact and agile H212 head was designed to deliver performance and speed.
The H212 provides high performance for thinning, final cutting, and eucalyptus debarking applications. With a robust and agile design, this versatile H212 is a small giant in the forest.
The H212 features the new SuperCut 100S saw system with improved automatic chain tensioning and simplified maintenance, capable of cutting diameters up to 520 mm. The knives are designed to provide high-quality delimbing and complement the feeding power and roller arm adjustment for large or crooked stems. Optionally, the upper knives can be of the longer “processor-type” for better harvesting of pre-felled trees and for processing bundles of trees.
The narrow design of this head offers excellent visibility even when the knives and rollers are open, which helps to increase agility in dense stands with small diameters. The saw box has also been designed to provide good visibility for both felling and processing operations.
The H212 head comes standard with TimberRite™ H-16 control system readiness, and can optionally be factory-prepared for other measuring systems and for different base machine brands, whether tracked or wheeled.

H212 Development and Testing
The H212 harvester head, manufactured by Waratah OM, was developed and refined through field testing, which played a crucial role in the entire process. The tests were carried out in several countries, including Portugal, where performance in eucalyptus debarking and in processing logs and bundles was tested and developed.
Generiparts is proud to have contributed to and participated in these tests.
