JAKE + PALMS + HEIZOHACK

Two Heizohack drum chippers arrive in early December: one HM 10-860 KF and one HM 10-500 KF. Both can be fed with a crane or a digger, and both are available to buyers in New Zealand and Australia.

Both machines share an 800 x 877mm infeed, five quick-change blades and a single-axle chassis rated to 40 km/h.

The HM 10-860 KF runs a larger 690mm drum and weighs 9,600kg, making it the heavier-duty option.

The HM 10-500 KF runs a 495mm drum, weighs 8,750kg and produces 60–80m³ an hour.

Both machines can be secured now, ahead of arrival. Once they are allocated, further units will be built to order in Germany on standard factory lead times.

ALFA is the exclusive Heizohack distributor for New Zealand and Australia. We hold parts locally and have JAKE, PALMS and Heizohack setups working, with demonstrations available.

Let me know if you would like pricing on either machine, or call us on 0800 425 325.

Two South Island tractors now carry PALMS 7.94 forestry cranes on JAKE mounting systems: Whakatipu Timber in Otago, and Greenvine NZ in Marlborough, fitted by Northern Tractor Services.

JAKE builds each kit in Finland to the tractor’s serial number, so the tractor doesn’t need to be new. The frame runs through the chassis and around both rear axles to carry the crane’s load, and the whole crane setup comes off in five to ten minutes when the tractor’s needed for other work.

The full story of both builds is on the blog, including the 7.94 specs and what goes into a JAKE fit:

Not all guarding is equal. 💪🏼🛡️

JAKE's hood protection is tailored to your tractor's own specs, and the design still gives you easy bonnet access.

The JAKE Hood Cover is built in Finland for the Valtra A5, G5, N5, T5 and Q5.

Takes branch and crane hits before your bonnet and headlights do.

- Opens easily, so daily checks stay quick

- Easy fit, and comes off when you don't need it

- Keep the tractor working, not waiting on parts.

Our first build in Canterbury is done.

A Valtra T235 fitted with a PALMS 7.94 crane on a JAKE 904 mounting system assembled by the team at Northern Tractor Service.

The JAKE 904 frame runs the full length of the tractor chassis and wraps both rear axles, so the crane's working load goes into the frame rather than the tractor.

A big thanks to Northern Tractors for a highly professional job from start to finish.

Off to its new home in Whangārei. This PALMS C10 log grapple is heading north to go on a crane truck.

Why PALMS? Steel. Every PALMS grapple is built in Estonia from Swedish Strenx high-strength steel. It's stronger for its weight, so there's less dead weight on the end of the boom and more of the crane's lift goes into timber.

C10 · 0.28m² · 1615mm opening · fl**ge rotator connection

PALMS cranes, grapples and trailers are available in NZ through ALFA – Arb and Forestry Equipment.

A new Heizohack chipper went to Wood 'n' Tree Ltd recently.

Wood 'n' Tree are family owned with more than 25 years behind them in Canterbury — tree removal, pruning, land clearing, mulching and firewood across the region.

We were pleased to supply this one, and we're looking forward to a long working relationship with the team — parts, servicing and whatever else they need from us over the life of the machine.
