Harvester – LOGSET 8H GTE HYBRID

The forest revolution: 423 hp of sustainable power
The Logset 8H GTE Hybrid is the pinnacle of modern forestry engineering. Weighing in at 23 tons, it is not only the largest harvester in the Logset range but a production monster that redefines the rules of the game. Thanks to its revolutionary hybrid system, it delivers a combined power output of 423 hp (311 kW) and a massive torque of 1780 Nm. This machine offers instant response and unmatched fuel economy, designed for contractors demanding maximum performance in extreme final felling without skyrocketing operating costs.

Large description

Hybrid Technology: Instant Power The secret lies in the perfect fusion between the AGCO Power 74 LFTN diesel engine (291 hp) and a powerful integrated electric motor. The electrical system acts as an “instant turbo,” providing up to 104 kW and an additional 500 Nm in microseconds when the load increases (during feeding or cutting). This allows the diesel engine to run at constant, efficient RPMs, eliminating power dips and drastically reducing fuel consumption and emissions.

Dual Pump Hydraulic System:
To master this power, the 8H GTE Hybrid comes standard with a colossal hydraulic system featuring two dedicated pumps: 210 + 180 l/min (total 390 l/min). This massive flow guarantees speed never falters: you can feed the largest tree at top speed, rotate the head, and reposition the crane simultaneously without the slightest hesitation.

Stability and Heavy-Duty:
Crane Built on a robust 8-wheel chassis with 710/45-26.5 tires, it offers unwavering stability. It mounts the Mesera 241 H crane, with an impressive lifting torque of 240 kNm and a reach of up to 11.1 meters, designed to safely handle the heaviest stems that the hybrid system is capable of processing.

Fleet Compatibility and Configuration

The ultimate machine for high-volume final felling and large-diameter timber.

  • Compatible Heads: Designed to extract maximum performance from TH55, TH65, and TH75 heads. With the TH75, it transforms into a “wood factory” on wheels, capable of processing mature trees with astonishing speed.
  • Crane: Mesera 241 H as standard, the most powerful option to ensure structural longevity under extreme loads.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Do I need to plug the machine in to charge the hybrid system? No, absolutely not. The hybrid system is self-sufficient. The electric motor acts as a generator when the diesel engine has a low load (for example, when releasing the stem or braking), recharging the supercapacitors automatically in seconds.  

2. What is the real advantage of the hybrid over conventional diesel? The main advantage is torque response. The electric motor delivers its power instantly, preventing the diesel engine from “bogging down” against a difficult log. This results in much smoother operation and significant fuel savings per cubic meter produced.

3. Is maintenance more complicated because it is a hybrid? Logset’s electrical system is designed to be maintenance-free. It uses supercapacitors instead of complex chemical batteries, ensuring long service life and reliability in extreme forestry conditions.

4. How does it perform on slopes? With 8 wheels, a weight of 23 tons, and improved tractive force of 195 kN (higher than the standard version), it is an exceptionally capable machine on steep slopes, offering superior traction and stability.

5. Is it suitable for large-sized Eucalyptus? It is arguably the best machine on the market for it. The combination of 423 hp and the TH75 head allows for debarking and processing large-diameter, tough eucalyptus with an ease that conventional machines cannot match.
