Just advice from fellow processor operator in big North American hardwood... If your cutting something bigger than single pass tree I find it easier to run up the tree past first log or two as far as I can reach safely and cut it off then deal with the snag it will stand there until it's cut off clean.
It is faster and safer than a chainsaw but it seems awfully abusive on the machine. This is by no means an indictment of the operator or his/her skillset but in the end, it would seem that the processor manufacturing sector has yet to be able to tackle big northeastern hardwood
With all due respect. This harvester head is way bigger and with a much longer saw than an H8 so probably not. I am from the town where this head is assembled and they are specifically designed for the big trees of North America.

Nice job man handled that tree!

With all due respect, a Ponsse H8 would beat the living daylights out of that thing.

@@oscarivanholmqvist4682 Fake news bud. You apparently haven't ever seen a H8?
Let's set it up Joe Blow!
