Waratah 600 Series heads are all business, because we know, when you’re working, you’re earning. But our heads do more than outwork and outlast the next best heads out there. They also deliver a remarkably low overall cost-to- run. And we don’t play around when it comes to service and support either. When you put a Waratah head to work, the Waratah support team goes to work for you – getting you up and running and keeping you there. There’s a 600 Series to fit your application and carrier. Invest in one and you’ll see why serious loggers say Waratah is built to work. And work. And work.
