Komatsu America Corp.‘s C93 harvesting head is a versatile head weighing about 2,100 lbs. The C93 is the first model in Komatsu’s new C-series family of “carry-style” heads. The C93 replaces the 350.1 model, and offers significant improvements for better handling of thinning projects, the company says. The C93 is also ideal for handling crooked stem and multi-stem harvesting applications. With a recommended diameter-at-breast-height (DBH) working range of 6 to 15 in. and a maximum cutting capacity up to 23.6 in. in diameter, the C93 is available installed on Komatsu 911.5 and 931.1 harvesters. The head is also available as a loose head for installment on other carriers. According to Komatsu, the C93’s new frame design enables the head to more closely follow the tree trunk. The increased rearward tilt angle (40 degrees) provides faster feeding performance while reducing head frame stress when harvesting, Komatsu adds.
