Hakmet is proud to be the new North American distributor of the Finnish AFM-Forest harvester head / processor brand.

            AFM has been in the market for nearly 20 years and has a distribution network around the globe. AFM has a full range of harvester heads, combi harvester heads, an energy wood head and a felling head.

            AFM harvester heads are specialized heavy duty attachments for forest operations. The AFM harvester head fells the tree with a chain saw, delimbs it and cross-cuts it to exact log lengths. It is usually equipped with a measuring system which allows controlling the cross-cutting process by dividing and optimizing the stem effectively using intelligent prognosis. AFM harvesting and processing heads present numerous advantages to loggers, such as reliability, versatility, easy service and many others. AMF carries 10 different harvester head models.

            AFM Combi heads are unique heavy duty attachments for harvesting, processing, sorting and loading logs. By installing AFM Combi heads on your base machine you will be able to fell, process, sort and load timber – all with just one machine. AFM Combi heads are especially designed for easy and efficient processing and timber loading. AFM Combi heads can be installed on excavators, tracked loaders or medium and big forest machines. AFM carries two different combi head models.

            The AFM 60FH felling head is a versatile and cost-effective attachment for felling, piling and loading logs. The AFM 60FH felling head can be used in tree-length and full-tree operations, oil piping works, as well as building forestry roads. It can be mounted on excavators and purpose built forest machines, such as harvesters and feller bunchers.
