HARVESTING HEAD CONTACT WITH CAB

The boom of this machine is designed to enable the harvesting head to be tucked in close to the operator’s cab. This ability maximizes the maneuverability of the harvesting head to work around standing trees and while thinning in dense stands. See Figure 1. Working with the harvesting head in close to the machine: • Increases operator visibility, permitting better placement of the head on the tree and improving awareness of saw bar location and penetration, tree species and areas of rot, splits and crooks. • Reduces the potential for damage to both the standing trees and the harvesting head and stick boom components. • Improves the stability of a machine working on uneven ground as the weight of the boom, head and tree need not be extended as far out in front of the machine. • Broadens the working area that can be reached by the boom and thereby lessens the need to reposition the machine as frequently during harvesting operations.
