Komatsu C144 is here already! A new type of valve bank with various advantages is introduced with the year model upgrade. The similar kind of valve bank was created for C164, where it has shown to be effective. The harvester head’s resistance to wear improves its dependability, which results in more uptime and lower repair costs. Due to lessened hydraulic resistance in the valve block, the redesigned valve bank will also result in fewer energy losses, which will save gasoline.

Uncompromisingly reliable and profitable

First of all, testing has shown that the new valve bank has a longer service life than the old one. Another enhancement results from reversing the oil flow in the feed system, which improves stem holding ability during felling. Test operators who have used the new Komatsu C144 report feeling more responsive in their heads and describe this as having a “distinct” sense. The saw box’s architecture has been enhanced in a way that makes maintenance easier and boosts dependability. The smaller feed roller motor’s (627 cc/315 cc) feed rate also rises from 5 m/s to a full 6.5 m/s, which aids in boosting productivity and profitability for the forest business owner.

Komatsu C144, highlights

• 4WD feed with extra body roller produces significantly greater
feed force
• Constant Cut prevents the chain from exceeding maximum
chain speed and delivers high harvesting capacity and
extremely short cutting times
• Optional 90 cm bar. Offers increased productivity and broader
application areas
• Find End (option) resets the length measurement without
needing to cut the stem
• Tilt angle of 40 degrees for less wear and improved work
environment
• Four hydraulic delimbing knives, with the two forward knives
providing more efficient delimbing of challenging trees
• Optional head-mounted working lights
• Patented length measuring with exact measurement accuracy
and high reliability thanks to non-contact signal transmission
• Optional multi-tree handling to further enhance production
capacity
• Safe and simple service with centralised lubrication points
• The Eco-GLS lubrication system (optional) reduces lubricant
consumption and eliminates oil mist
