Harvester – LOGSET 8H GTE HYBRID

Processing Quality and Comfort: Advanced Ergonomics with TOC 2 Control
Logset pioneered the industry by introducing the curved bow-front windshield, and the 8H GTE Hybrid cabin lives up to that reputation by placing the operator’s eye level at the absolute center of the design. The interior is spacious, quiet, and features a low window line that provides an unmatched view of the entire working environment. High-speed log processing and precise measuring are managed via the intuitive TOC 2 advanced operating system and the purpose-built TOC-MD 2 touchscreen monitor. Through this interface, operators can completely map functions onto the adjustable mini-joysticks, reducing physical fatigue and optimizing cutting patterns without taking their hands off the controls.

Fleet Compatibility and Equipment
This hybrid harvester incorporates optimized mechanical systems and dual-pump hydraulic connections to deliver maximum processing speed and reach precision.

• Integrated Crane: Specifically configured to work in perfect synergy with the new Logset H325 parallel crane design.
• Maximum Reach: Features versatile boom extension options of 10 and 11 meters. 
• Lifting Capacity: Delivers an extraordinary gross lifting torque of 325 kNm.
• Compatible Harvester Heads: Natively supports the installation and digital integration of heavy-duty Logset TH60, TH70, and TH80 heads from the 4.0 series.
• Smooth Crane Technology: Allows the activation of this feature, which spatially tracks the crane’s position and dampens end-of-stroke movements to prevent structural stress.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

1- How exactly does the hybrid technology work in the Logset 8H GTE Hybrid? The hybrid system operates bidirectionally: it stores electrical energy in its capacitor cells when the harvester runs under normal conditions and discharges it instantly, delivering up to 131 hp of extra power when the machine detects heavy peak workloads. This allows the most demanding log processing tasks to be completed with the support of the electric motor.    

2- How much fuel can be saved with this model compared to a traditional system? Because the internal combustion diesel engine works at a constant, optimized pace without sharp RPM drops or sudden accelerations, the machine achieves a real fuel savings of up to 25%. This drastically reduces direct operating costs per cubic meter.

3- Which TH-series harvester heads are recommended for this machine? This model is hydraulically and software-dimensioned to integrate seamlessly with the high-speed, three-roller Logset TH60, TH70, and TH80 harvester heads. The final choice depends on the average stem diameter of the forest stands processed in your daily operations.

4- What advantages does the Logset H325 parallel crane system offer? Unlike conventional cranes with external rods, the H-series utilizes a heavy-duty monoblock boom driven by two large, protected hydraulic cylinders. It provides smooth operation, nearly doubles the slewing torque, and allows efficient harvesting with natural movements both close to the machine and at its maximum reach of 11 meters.

5- How does the TOC-MD 2 measuring software protect the value of the harvested timber? The proprietary TOC-MD 2 device automates key adaptive optimization, bucking, and scaling processes. This maximizes precision in pinpoint cross-cutting and significantly reduces human error, minimizing the waste of valuable timber.
