Neuson mht Harvester – Austrian forestry machines from Linz: the 18002HVT, 242HV and 242HVT with John Deere engines, 125 to 172 kW
Neuson mht, based in Linz, is an Austrian maker of forestry machines trading as Neuson Forest. The 18002HVT, 242HV and 242HVT harvesters fell and delimb trees in a single pass: the harvester head at the end of the crane grips the stem, saws it, strips the branches and cuts it to length; the HVT suffix denotes, against HV, a variant with an added traction function on the crane arm. The models are powered by John Deere diesel engines.

The register lists here 3 versions with 124.5 to 171.5 kW output and widths from 2,551.2 to 3,950.2 mm. The John Deere engines fitted are the 6068TF275 and 8081HF0270.
Harvesters of this power class are used in timber harvesting for thinning and clear-felling, where Neuson mht competes for market share in Central Europe with the larger Scandinavian makers such as Ponsse and John Deere Forestry; as an Austrian supplier, the brand has a particular presence in Alpine forests, whose steep slopes place different demands on undercarriage and stability than flat Scandinavian terrain.
When buying used, what matters is wear on the harvester head and its saw chain, the tightness of the hydraulics for crane and felling unit, the condition of the undercarriage or tyres, and a complete maintenance record for the John Deere engine; spares run through the Neuson mht dealer network.
