SP 661 LF - fast, versatile and reliable
The SP 661 LF is a compact and strong high performance harvester head designed according to SP´s Low Friction principle for minimum friction and maximum productivity. The SP 661 LF is designed to be able to offer highest productivity in both small and large diameter harvesting.
In large diameter harvesting the proportional angled feed rollers in combination with SP´s patented knife control system LogHold, allow for maximum capacity and productivity. When harvesting smaller diameter trees the compact and agile design is a great asset. Equipped with the optional Multi tree handling equipment the SP 661 LF is able to reach highest productivity also when harvesting very small tree dimensions.
The extremely protected and robust design in combination with state of the art hose routing ensures highest reliability and uptime regardless of tree size and harvesting condition. The SP 661 LF is without a doubt both fast, versatile and reliable. The SP 661 LF reaches top performance in stands with a diameter of 16 to 51 cm (6 – 20”) dbh but is thanks to the LF principle also capable of efficiently working with larger tree sizes.
LF – Maximum production and minimum friction
Four smart solutions and patent for increased profitability:
Knife Design
The delimbing knives are cast in high-strength steel and equipped with long cutting edges. This means that the limbs are cut off instead of being broken off. This minimizes friction during delimbing and allows the trunk to be fed through easily.
Proportional pressure
Proportional pressure ensures that the harvester head automatically works at the correct pressure in relation to tree diameter. This means that the friction between the trunk and harvester head is minimized and that the harvester head run at peak efficiency. Individual settings per tree species maximises production further.
SP patent
LogHold
LogHold is an evolution of proportional pressure and means that the delimbing knife pressure against the trunk can be reduced, without the risk of the trunk being dropped. If the trunk is about to fall, LogHold regulates the knife pressure so that the trunk is held in the right position. The amount by which the diameter may increase before LogHold takes action is set in the control system. No additional sensors are required.
Proportionally angled feeder rollers
This smart solution means that when the harvester head is fully open, i.e. at maximum tree size, the feed rollers are at their greatest angle and provide maximum carrying force against the trunk. As the feed rollers carry the trunk, the pressure on the delimbing knives can be reduced, which means less friction and the harvester head can feed the trunk through quickly and easily.
Accessories and Equipment
The SP 661 LF has a vast range of different accessories in order to be able to adapt the harvester head to different needs, machines and felling conditions.
Color marking
Used to facilitate forwarding when the logs are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
Multi-tree equipment
SP´s multi-tree equipment makes it possible to fell and gather several trees before processing them together. A highly productive option in small diamater harvesting.
Find end sensor
Using a sensor mounted in the saw box, the harvester head automatically locates the end of the trunk at the push of a button.
Topping saw
Facilitates felling of hardwood forest with a lot of forks as well as felling of stands with multiple top-breaks.
EC - saw box (Extended Cut)
Larger saw box for increased cutting diameter to 81 cm.
Multispeed feed
Optimizes the harvester head’s relationship between feed speed and feed force for highest productivity regardless of trunk diameter.
Lighting saw box
LED lamp in the saw box for additional lighting of the work area.
FDM (Floating Diameter Measuring)
An additional measuring point that follow the movements of the top knife. This ensures a very accurate diameter measuring also during high feed speeds.
Eucalyptus kit
Debarking kit for eucalyptus trees.
Feed rollers
Feed rollers in several designs available to suit different conditions and needs.
