With the Top Saw, you can maximize the timber yield from every log.
The new Tilt Control system enables you to place the head at any desired tilt angle. Tilt Control comes as standard and the valve for this function is mounted below the existing tilt valve on the left block. Tilt Control is very important when processing heavily limbed trees or when working in steep terrain.
The saw box has been redesigned and extended to accommodate saw bars up to 90 cm (34 in) in length, a new root protection plate providing enhanced protection to the chain against roots and enables easier cutting of larger trees with a maximum diameter of 78,4 cm (30.9 in). Furthermore, the footprint of the saw box has been reduced, making it particularly advantageous in snowy conditions.
The length measurement function has been significantly improved to enhance accuracy. Changes include redesigning the measure wheel cylinder, updating the hydraulic circuit, reinforcing the measuring wheel arm and attachment, the measuring wheel is larger in diameter. These enhancements allow the measuring wheel to precisely follow the stem’s contour, resulting in superior measurement results.
The Log Max 6000V Top Saw is equipped with two 318 MK2 with 30cc motors. Through good material selection and innovative design concepts, these units significantly reduce maintenance requirements while maximizing durability. New grease nipples have been added to the front sides, enabling easy application of grease to safeguard against moisture, dirt, and debris.
The saw bar bracket has undergone significant improvements. It now includes a protective cover and rubber seals to seal off the bracket, preventing the infiltration of dirt and dust. The saw bar holder has been upgraded with premium-grade Hardox 450 material and an improved design. The attachment mechanism for the saw bar itself has been reinforced, ensuring enhanced strength and longevity.
In order for all lubrication to be done when the head is in the tilted position, the head has accessible lubrication points. The lubrication points are brought forward on the saw box so that they are easy to get at. It increases safety, facilitates maintenance work, and shortens downtime.
To simplify service, facilitate transport and increase safety, a "Safety Pin" has replaced the safety chain, which forms a locking mechanism between the frame and the felling link. You can now link a bracket under the rotator to a stand in the frame with the help of a locking pin.
To reduce cost, it is possible to choose the rotator control option, which means that the rotator is controlled from the head instead of from the base machine. The advantages are that it frees weight on the base machine by eliminating between 20-30 m of hose and also reduces costs. If the option is chosen, an extra valve is mounted to the head.
To increase durability and reduce the risk of cracks in the frame, Log Max have created a reinforced attachment for the upper delimbing knife. The frame is reinforced at the mainline, where the upper delimbing knife slides on the frame to increase durability and extend its life span. Source
