New Komatsu C124 Harvester Head for Sale

Tackle tough forestry jobs with confidence using Komatsu wheeled harvesters, forwarders, log loaders, swing machines, felling heads and harvesting heads. Forestry work is often in the most rugged terrain and brutal conditions — and Komatsu forestry equipment is engineered for the task.

The Komatsu C124 is a head that delivers – day in day out. Despite its sturdy frame design, the C124 is a lightweight head that with a tilt angle of a full 40 degrees offers effective feeding and reduced strain on the head body when logging in hilly terrain. Komatsu’s four feed roller solution provides multiple points of contact between stem and head. The result is low friction and high net tractive force, which means low energy consumption. The four feed roller solution combined with concave rollers also creates good conditions for high measurement accuracy.

One major advantage of the C heads is that the stem is held by the feed rollers. The feed rollers centre the stem, which ensures efficient feeding, while the low clamping pressure reduces friction.

 The C124 has cast delimbing knives, which means high durability. The new mounts for the diameter sensors also enhance this durability.

The Constant Cut saw unit guarantees the right saw speed throughout the entire cutting cycle and prevents the chain from being over-revved. As a result, the risk of splitting decreases and safety increases. Moreover, the saw unit’s hydraulic design provides good access around the head valve while a unique saw unit controller ensures good capacity and good hydraulic component durability.

As an option, you can add working lights to the saw box, which helps increase productivity by allowing faster stem collaring and a reduced risk of sawing rocks. The Komatsu C124 can be fitted to most of our harvester models
