Harvester – LOGSET 8H GT

Raw power in an agile package: the ultimate 6-wheeler for final felling
The Logset 8H GT is a forestry production beast disguised as an agile machine. Weighing 19 tons with an impressive 291 hp engine, this 6-wheel harvester breaks conventional limits: it offers the strength of a heavy-duty final felling machine while retaining the maneuverability needed to navigate tight spaces. It is the perfect choice for contractors who need to fell and process large-diameter trees without compromising travel speed between stands.

Large description

High-Performance Powertrain: The 8H GT is driven by the AGCO Power 74 LFTN (Stage V) 7.4-liter engine, calibrated to deliver 291 hp (214 kW) and a massive torque of 1280 Nm. This superior power compared to the 6-series ensures the machine never fades, even when processing hard hardwoods or large-diameter pines, maintaining surprisingly low fuel consumption thanks to intelligent engine management.

Dual Hydraulic Pump System (Optional):
Here lies the secret to its productivity. While the standard configuration offers 210 l/min, the optional dual hydraulic pump setup (190 + 140 l/min) transforms the operation. This allows for multiple simultaneous functions—feeding the stem, rotating the head, and moving the crane—without any pressure drops. It is pure engineering at the service of cycle speed.

Crane and Stability:
To handle the extra power, it comes standard with the Mesera 241 H crane, a much more robust structure with a lifting torque of 240 kNm. This, combined with its stable 6-wheel chassis (34” rear tires), allows for lifting and manipulating heavy trees at maximum reach (up to 11.1 m) with total safety and precision.

Fleet Compatibility and Configuration

This machine is the workhorse for regeneration harvesting and heavy thinning.

  • Compatible Heads: Designed to work with the largest heads in the mid-to-high range: TH55, TH65, and TH75. The TH75 turns it into a true high-volume feller.
  • Crane: Standard Mesera 241 H (the most powerful in its class) or the lighter 221 H option. Reaches from 10.3 to 11.1 meters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 

1. How does the 8H GT differ from the 6HP GT? The 8H GT is a more powerful machine oriented towards final felling. It boasts 291 hp (vs. 230 hp), a much stronger crane (240 kNm vs. 188 kNm), and supports larger heads like the TH75.

2. What is the benefit of the dual hydraulic pump option?
The 190+140 l/min option guarantees that flow is always available for all functions. You can process a tree at high speed while positioning the machine or moving the crane for the next one, reducing downtime to zero. 

3. Is it too big for thinning?
Although its strength is final felling, its 6-wheel design and turning radius allow it to perform late thinning or heavy selective cuts on large trees where a smaller machine wouldn’t have the strength to move the stems.

4. What is the lifting capacity of the crane?
The Mesera 241 H offers 240 kNm of brute force. This is essential for holding large trees and heavy hardwoods without the machine losing stability.

5. What maintenance does the high-capacity hydraulic system require?
The 195-liter tank and filtration system are designed for long cycles. The TOC 2 system monitors pressures and temperatures, alerting the operator to any anomalies before they become a problem.
