The SAT630FH fixed felling head is a large capacity, 32” fixed felling head.

The wrist that the SAT630FH is mounted off, has 360 degree continuous rotation. This wrist can be connected directly to any excavator or feller buncher bucket C linkage.

The SAT630FH saw unit is supported by a large 30cm (12”) diameter slew bearing making it a very robust unit, especially when felling. The saw utilizes a SATCO® heavy duty auto chain tensioning system with a 43” bar and 3/4” chain.

SATCO® also use a unique locking system for the sprocket to prevent broken drive shaft keys and damage to saw motor shafts. The saw bar has a unique 270 degree rotation making a front cut easy to perform without having to reposition the base machine from its felling posotion.

The wrist is mounted to a large diameter slew ring specially designed for this application. There are 2 purpose built rotate motors used to drive the slew with an override holding relief built into each motor. There is also a float option which can be easily engaged when shoveling or loading.

Starting at 3200kg (7040lbs) and requiring 200 LPM (52.8 gpm) (US) at 280 Bar (4000 psi) this felling head does not require much from the matched 24-35 tonne base machine it is connected to.

The SAT630FH advantage over a dangle type felling head is where there is an application for controlled felling. The SAT630FH can also be used to shovel, load a truck and has an advantage on steep slope to assist in support of base machine. The SAT630FH is also useful for sweeping the skid site or forming a track on a steep hill side.

Constructed using high grade materials and manufactured using the best robotic welding wire for a superior weld.
