What do customers say?
Erik Wiik- Sweden
- The best thing about the new 5000V is the feed speed, the good result of the new measuring unit and the new hose routing for the multi-stemming unit. You feel it is a brand-new harvesting head with a high production capacity. The speed is like a new dimension. I also think that the geometry of the saw box is excellent and has increased production considerably.

IMPROVED LENGTH MEASUREMENT
Log Max 5000V measurement unit has got mechanical, electronic and hydraulic updates.
- The construction of the measuring wheel cylinder is updated.
- The hydraulic circuit is new.
- The measuring wheel arm and its attachment are reinforced.
- New contactless encoder in the measuring wheel.
- Two conical roller bearings that are lubricated from the outside.
Altogether, the changes will allow the measuring wheel to follow the contour of the stem even better and provide the best measurement result.
NEW SAW BOX
The contour of the saw box is changed, and the position of the saw unit has been optimized to handle trees with larger root bones and thus increase production significantly. The saw box also has a root bone plate to protect the chain and bar.
The saw box has also been extended and is now adapted for saw bars of 82 cm. The new Log Max 5000V easily handles large trees, both when felling and processing. The maximum cutting diameter is 74 cm.
Fast feeding
Log Max 5000V has new feed roller motors with hoses without banjo fittings. The new engines are of a high-flow model with increased efficiency, generating better performance for the harvesting head.
The changes provide a better and higher flow, which reduces heat development and thus reduces energy losses. It also increases the unit's feed speed.
The feed wheel arms have also received an updated design to be able to process both coarse and thin logs better.
PROTECTED HOSES
The hoses for the multi-stemming unit and the rotator control are on the left side of the felling link at Log Max 5000V. The updates make the hoses run inside the protective bar, less exposed and will make them last longer.
The attachment for the hoses for stump treatment and grease lubrication also has a new design, which means that the hoses are exposed to minimal wear and have increased durability.
New Safety pin
To simplify service, facilitate transport and increase safety, a "Safety Pin" has replaced the safety chain, which forms a locking mechanism between the frame and the felling link. You can now link a bracket under the rotator to a stand in the frame with the help of a locking pin.
INCREDIBLE DURABILITY
To increase durability and productivity, the frame construction of Log Max 5000V has received several updates.
Here are some of the changes:
- The mechanical stops for the feed roller arms in the closed position are reinforced on the inside.
- The lower delimbing knife has received a mechanical stop integrated to the frame.
- The surface of the bottom plate has been reduced by approx. 15% to reduce snow packing.
- The main cover is reinforced to prevent it from being pushed in during snow packing.
Lubrication points
In order for all lubrication to be done when the head is in the tilted position, the head has accessible lubrication points. The lubrication points are brought forward on the saw box so that they are easy to get at. It increases safety, facilitates maintenance work, and shortens downtime.
Reinforced around measuring wheel
To improve the frame’s durability and life span, we have changed the design of the measuring wheel hole. We also reinforced the stoppers for the roller arms, when in the closed position, at the inside of the frame to increase the frame’s strength and stability.
Reinforced frame
To increase durability and reduce the risk of cracks in the frame, we have created a reinforced attachment for the upper delimbing knife. The frame is reinforced at the mainline, where the upper delimbing knife slides on the frame to increase durability and extend its life span.
Replaceable pins for felling link cylinder
The pins for attaching the felling link cylinder in the frame are screwed at both ends. The refinement will simplify service and maintenance.

Hydraulics
The hydraulics of our heads are characterized by a simple design. We use a proven technology that we trust and that results in a reliable hose management and stable pressures throughout.
Our system has small hydraulic losses, which means that we get the most out of the head's performance.
More about the head design
Feed rollers
To optimize the head's function, you need to choose the feed rollers that fit both your head, but also the type of forest that you work in the most. Our feed rollers always work perpendicular to the tree, in contrast to many other heads that have angled feed rollers. Having a straight feed roller leads above all to reduced friction losses but also to minimal penetration into the trunk.
Active Friction Control
The AFC system is our head´s key technology and allows our heads to harvest trees with high precision and minimal friction.
The goal of the AFC is to minimize the friction between the trunk and the frame, which leads to minimal wear on the unit and lower operating costs because the head doesn't use more power than necessary.

SOMETHING EXTRA
Selectable optional equipment for Log Max 5000V
Cylinder rod protection
Protects the feed roller arm cylinders on the unit. The protection is standard on all XT units, although we do recommend it for all units, especially when thinning where the head is more exposed to hits as the forest is often denser or working with hardwood.
Field repair kit
A spare parts kit with the most vital components to minimize downtime. Contains sensors, cylinders etc. The kit varies (content and price) depending on the head model and equipment.
Please contact us for more information.
Protective bar
The protection is mounted on the felling link to protect the crane hoses, multi-stemming hoses, and color marking tanks. Available in two versions for units with or without color marking.
Fixed bottom plate
Used instead of the damped bottom plate. An advantage when minimal stump height is needed.
Dust & Snow cover
This rubber cover is mounted between the felling link and the rear of the frame. This prevents snow and debris from packing that could damage the protective cover.
Sawdust deflector
To minimize sawdust clouds when processing a log and also the risk of chain shots, a sawdust deflector is mounted on the saw box.
Hose Kit
Kit with replacement hose.
Ask your local dealer for more information.
Color marking
Includes tanks and equipment for two different colors. Color marking blocks are mounted in the saw box.
Find End sensor - laser
Used to easily find the root end / zero point of a log. The Find End sensor consists of a laser that is mounted in the saw box. This allows to easily
zero-reset without having to use the saw. This function optimizes and facilitates work when processing from the pile.
Stump treatment
Prepares the head for stump treatment. Requires a separate pump on the carrier.
Rotator control
To reduce weight and cost, it is possible to choose the rotator control option, which means that the rotator is controlled from the head instead of from the carrier.
The advantages are that it frees weight on the carrier by eliminating between 20-30 m of hose and also reduces costs. If the option is chosen, an extra valve is mounted to the head.
Grease Lubrication
Prepares the unit for grease-based chain lubrication, an alternative to Easy Greasy. Requires a separate pump on the carrier.
Multi-stemming
The accumulation kit is a good choice for you that wants to harvest several trees in every felling and thus streamline the work.
