V-TEC upper feed wheel for John Deere H424/H414 Add to cart H414/H424 V-TEC fender extension Add to cart Accessories Uniquely designed and listening to user feedbackDevelopment work by MenSe Oy on the durable V-TEC feed wheel John Deere H414/H424 was accomplished by listening to feed roller users and grab designers. The development work has resulted in a new solution, the V-Tec roller, which has even better grip and is cleaner. At the same time, damage to the wood surface is reduced.Comparing the V-TEC to standard feed wheels and showcasing its unique capabilities.User experiences of the V-TEC feed wheelV-TEC Komatsu 350, C93 and Kesla 18 and 25 harvester heads "Overall, we've been satisfied with the V-TEC units. During reverse feeding the stem stays well seated in the throat. In the felling cut the V-TEC positions itself on the stem and centers the stem well on the harvester head. Sharpening is easy: once a year with a grinding wheel, producing a clear cutting edge. We have V-TEC experience on Komatsu 350, C93 and Kesla 18 and 25 harvester heads. "These rollers are among the best," says entrepreneur Antti Ylikoski." AS Ylikoski – KannusAS YlikoskiKomatsu C93 V-TEC "I should've ordered these two years ago. Huge difference on grip and performance. One hell of a change - Power increased - Winding trees goes through smoothly - Harvester head is more silent - Able to decrease gripping pressure - Excellent grip - Big or small trunks without a problem - Cheap price - Seals do not freeze (open structure prevents water from accumulating)"Takkala YrjöPonsse H6/H7/H8 V-TEC "MenSe's service is fast. We already have V-tec feed wheels in several machines. We have liked these wheels. We got a new machine now and immediately switched to V-tec. V-tec cleans well. Bark does not accumulate. Interlaced ribs center the trunk upwards, it does not fall down. The wheels center the trunk to the bottom of the grapple. Good traction. No slipping. Does not damage the surface, so no harvesting damage. All wheels wear out over time. They are not eternal. However, V-tec wheels can be sharpened/restored, so the lifespan increases. In addition, Ponsse 6-8 Vtec can be reversed. The outer spikes are new twice." Halkia, PornainenMetsäkoneurakointi Panu ValdénJohn Deere H413 V-TEC "You have really succeeded with the V-TEC feed wheels. They work perfectly in multi-tree processing and roll smoother than rubber-coated steel wheels. So we are really satisfied!" Jocke Larsson, Per-Hans Skogsentreprenad ABPonsse H6/H7/H8 V-TEC "We bought our first V-tec feed wheels in September 2019. We have also used original feed wheels occasionally. Our logging sites in Ilomantsi are mainly in Finnish swamps. The average diameter of the trees is only 120cm. They are long and "thin" trees. The feed wheels have accumulated more kilometers in terms of distance than on the thickest sites. When you do windthrow logging under the snow, the feed wheels are exposed to, for example, contact with rocks due to the motion range of the grapple. The V-TEC feed wheel is easy to maintain. The worn blade could be sharpened to its former state even in the forest. The open structure of the feed wheels prevents them from clogging, which is a plus. Reversing is also successful. So, I will order new V-TEC feed wheels for the Scorpion on March 31, 2021"Jarmo Sorsa, Metsä-ja Maansiirto Kastinen OyPonsse H6/H7/H8 V-TEC "Intelligent ones! Compression pressure can be dropped intelligently, 90 reduced to 70. The feed speed increased. It immediately picks up the wood. Only small marks remain on the tree = does not break the bark. I liked it!! Not noisy. Goes smoother than the previous spike rollers. It's silly to be stingy with the rollers. The money was not wasted."Reijo Pulkkinen, Pulkkinen Forest OyJohn Deere H413 V-TEC
