Information

2020 Southstar equipment QUADSTAR GRAPPLE QS635

4X4 equals increased traction, torque, and delimbing force.

The QS635GP Grapple Processor is designed to be able to sort, shovel andload like a grapple and process, measure and cut with all the advantages of a multi-stemprocessor. Combine your loading and processing into one effective machine.

Features may include:

Twin rotate motors

Powerful twin rotate motor driveallows operator to rotate logs upsteep slopes and when loadingtrucks on uneven ground.

Wide frame structure

Wide frame design for structuralstrength resulting in a reductionin frame cracking. This also allowsfor improved hose routing withminimal exposed hoses

Touch-less encoders

Magnetic touch-less encodersfor better accuracy andextended life duration.

Bushings

D-Glide bushing material forextended life and durability of main pins

Side stepping drive

Innovative side stepping drivefeature allowing for independentcontrol of two stems. This allowsthe operator to align butts ofmultiple stems, trim defects inone stem but not the other,and/or process one stem and notthe other.

Grapple delimb arms

Extra-large capacitygrapple delimb armsto maximize capacitywhile retaining delimbingexcellence.

4x4 drive system

Powerful 4x4 drive system providingamplified torque in large woodwhen processing, while increasingproductivity with the ability tomulti-stem small wood.

Continuous 360° rotation

Continuous 360° rotation withhose through design to better protecthosing. Standard on every model.

Twin tilt cylinders

Powerful tilt lock system - activatedwith twin cylinders allowing this grappleprocessor to operate without a heelattached.

Tilt leveling

Innovative tilt leveling software to controllogs when loading from the back of atrailer or handling wood off center

Measuring wheel

Extra wide measuring wheel allowsoperator to accurately measureboth single and multi-stems.

Lock pins

Large diameter with expanderlock pins for decreased wear andincreased life.

Drive arm opening

Unique drive arm designfold out when loading forextra capacity

Chain auto tension

Southstar’s 3/4” saw unitcomplete with hydraulic chainauto tension.

Laser find end sensors

Dual find end sensors to eliminatewastage when multi-stemming.
