Tracked forestry harvester 204 HVT

with craneslope

The new 20t all-round machine from Neuson Forest -Thinning -Soft soils -Wet areas -Energy wood harvesting -Steep slopes -Final felling Applications range from 2nd thinning to harvesting individual trunks and final felling. This is a completely new design with the tried and tested parallel crane technology by Waratah. The main goal of this development was improving power density and comfort as well as consistently implementing customer requesting from all 6 continents. Ergonomics and maintainability have also been improved. But let’s start at the beginning. At the heart of the 204 HVT is a 6-cylinder John Deere diesel engine with a displacement of 6,800 cm³. The maximum power of the machine is 222HP at a weight of about 20t, so it has 25% more engine power per kilo machine weight than the 183HVT. This also allowed us to increase the maximum speed in 2nd gear to about 5 km/h without losing tractive force. Like all Neuson Forest machines, the ratio between tractive force and net weight is significantly over 1. So the tractive force is always greater than the machine mass.
