Overview: The Komatsu 340 is a nimble and powerful harvesting head designed for effective thinning in dense forests. It is characterized by its compact design and low weight, making it easy to maneuver in tight spaces, particularly in stands with a Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) of 10-25 cm (4-10 inches).

Specifications: The Komatsu 340 features a robust design with ORFS couplings and a Komatsu rotator for reliability and reduced environmental impact. It has a feed speed of 0-5 m/s and a feed force of 18 kN. The head includes five delimbing knives and can handle a maximum cutting diameter of 530 mm. The hydraulic flow requirement is 220 l/min with a pressure of 25 Mpa.

Key Features: The harvesting head offers gentle trunk feeding with proportional pressure adjustments based on tree species and diameter. It includes a weather-sealed main hood for easy servicing and a streamlined design to minimize downtime. The high-pressure length measurement unit ensures accurate measurements even with crooked trunks.

Optional Equipment: The Komatsu 340 can be equipped with various optional features, including color marking systems, multi-tree accumulators, and different feed wheel models to suit various tree species and conditions. The availability of standard and optional equipment may vary by market.

Applications: The Komatsu 340 is ideal for processing trees with a maximum butt cut DBH of 350 mm and a theoretical maximum cut diameter of 530 mm. It is particularly effective in thick and tough forest environments.
