What the specifications mean
The shorter body length A is not transport length. Keep the stowed boom and head in the access and low-loader calculation.
The manufacturer lists three head-inclusive CH7 reaches. Choose the installed boom and harvester head together before comparing lifting ability, tree size or spacing.

A brochure configuration is not an individual marketplace machine. Serial/PIN and build information are required for exact verification.
Used 1270G inspection priorities
- Inspect processing-head rollers, knives, saw system and measurement/calibration records for the installed head; these checks are not evidence of a known failure pattern.
- Review boom, articulation, bogie and cab-levelling maintenance. Confirm the exact eight-wheel tire/traction package and transport instructions.
Configuration-aware inspection: these checks are triggered by machine category, installed configuration and technology package. Brochure-listed technology must be physically present, active, licensed and calibrated on the used machine.
Hours, condition and ownership cost
Hours are context, not a condition grade. Duty cycle, idle time, maintenance evidence, wear-system measurements, structural repairs and installed technology should be evaluated together.
Cost drivers to model
- Compare the harvester and forwarder as a harvesting system, including stem processing, extraction and landing constraints. Carrier hours alone do not describe head usage.
- Use measured stems, work mix and maintenance quotes for an ownership scenario; no generic litres-per-hour or reliability ranking is assumed.
Configuration
Equipment and configuration
Match the installed equipment to the serial-specific build record and the measurement basis shown above.
Configuration details to confirm
- Wheeled or tracked
- Head or grapple
- Levelling
- Timber application
A model specification does not establish compatibility with a particular attachment or option.
