Engineering and Design: Heavy-Duty Stability for Massive Timber Stands
The Logset 12H GTE Hybrid represents the pinnacle of “forest-proven engineering.” Built on an oversized, ultra-robust chassis, the machine offers absolute stability and reliability when working in the most demanding logging environments. Its undercarriage is equipped with standard high-flotation 780/50-28.5 tires and heavy-duty NAF bogies and gearboxes, ensuring optimal weight distribution and maximum forest soil protection. The entire frame and front structure have been guarded to withstand the intense mechanical stress caused by handling large-stature trees.
Power and Performance: Revolutionary Hybrid Power and Dual-Circuit Hydraulics
The power core of this giant combines a 7.4-liter AGCO Power 74 LFTN diesel engine (Stage V) delivering 291 hp with a fast, high-output electric motor. This hybrid system responds within a microsecond to the workload, injecting an extra boost that elevates the total output to 502 hp and generates a brutal maximum torque of 2,080 Nm. The electric motor absorbs all load peaks during the processing cycle, allowing the diesel engine to run at a constant, highly efficient RPM, which reduces fuel consumption by up to 25% compared to traditional powertrains. To manage this massive power with pinpoint precision, it incorporates a dual-circuit hydraulic system supplying an extraordinary flow rate of 210 + 210 l/min, ensuring fast and powerful simultaneous movements of the boom and harvester head.
Processing Quality and Ergonomics: Total Control in the Woods
Operator comfort and visibility are top priorities in Logset cabin designs. Featuring an industry-pioneering curved bow-front windshield, narrow pillars, and a low window line, the working environment offers perfect 360-degree panoramic visibility. Full control of the harvester is managed via the advanced TOC 2 digital system and the TOC-MD 2 touchscreen measuring device, allowing 100% customizable function mapping on the mini-joysticks. This maximizes accuracy in the adaptive optimization of feeding, cross-cutting, and log scaling, minimizing human error and timber waste.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
1- How does the electric hybrid technology benefit the performance of the Logset 12H GTE Hybrid? The hybrid system operates by accumulating electrical energy during periods of low mechanical demand. When the machine faces heavy peak workloads or processes massive trees, the electric motor instantly injects up to 131 hp of extra power, preventing diesel engine RPM drops and maintaining a constant, ultra-productive processing pace.
2- What is the real fuel savings offered by this forestry harvester? Because the AGCO Power diesel engine operates at a stable, efficient RPM without the violent acceleration spikes common in traditional hydraulic systems, the Logset 12H GTE Hybrid achieves real fuel savings of up to 25%, drastically lowering direct operating costs per cubic meter.
3- What types of timber and diameters can be processed with the Logset TH90 4.0 harvester head? This combination is specifically engineered for large-scale clear-felling operations, handling challenging stems and hardwoods with absolute ease and speed across a diameter range from 4 cm up to an impressive 80 cm.
4- What innovations does the Logset H405 crane incorporate compared to traditional booms? The H-series crane breaks away from legacy designs by utilizing a unique heavy-duty monoblock structure with parallel hydraulics, driven by two large, protected cylinders. This eliminates external reaction rods prone to wear and delivers nearly double the slewing torque thanks to its two powerful Poclain hydraulic motors.
5- How do technical support and remote diagnostics work on these machines? Through the Logset ACCESS digital solutions package—specifically the Connect software—authorized technicians can connect remotely to the machine via CAN bus communication. They can diagnose system status, troubleshoot software errors in real time, and pre-emptively identify mechanical parts needs before traveling to the logging site.
