The starting point of the design of the completely new machine type, the HR86 harvester, was to offer forestry professionals a machine for high-quality and cost-effective later thinning and final cutting done in varying and even demanding conditions. In our opinion, we have succeeded in this.
Robust chassis structure, good stability
The HR86 is made to last. The robust chassis structure together with the tried and tested bogie axles form the base for this 8-wheeled harvester. The machine weighs about 21 tonnes, which combined with the right weight distribution makes for a very stable machine even when reaching far. The wheel size is 26.5 inches available in varied widths.
Reliable power train
The AGCO POWER 74 LFTN 6-cylinder diesel with a maximum power of 195 kW was chosen as the motor based on its suitability and past positive experiences. As usual, the motor provides power for two hydraulic working pumps and a drive pump, which in turn operates the drive motor of the hydrostatic-mechanical transmission and then the bogie axles through the transfer box and prop shaft. Tried and tested technology, which is familiar to all machinery professionals.
Work longer in a rotating and self-stabilizing cab
The cab of the HR86 harvester rotates. It enables good visibility to the work area at all times without having to “peek” past obstacles. The excellent visibility also enables high-quality cutting, which benefits all parties. The cab rotates hydraulically and it works automatically with the possibility to adjust the cabs position in relation to the loader’s turning. The operator can, of course, manually intervene at any time.
