Seven years of field testing and prototyping, Axis Forestry unveiled the Rebel T22HD, the first of our high performance harvester brand. This premium model is the result of 15 years of rebuilding all brands of harvester heads. Coupled with the Cypress Robotics Measuring System, the T22HD launched in January 2024 with great success and is still growing with many thanks to feedback from all Rebel owners.

Design
Design
Built for long-term service, the approach is to integrate clean and simple design ideas into every component on the harvester. Every part has been carefully tested to ensure it performs well and is easy to service. The rugged frame design is built to handle the toughest of conditions.
Power
Power
Power comes from the seamless integration of mechanical design, hydraulics, electronics, and the operator. Under one manufacturing facility, the Axis team of engineers work around the clock to constantly find ways to maximize the power output of the Rebel. From the smooth operation of the computer controls to the responsive hydraulics, the entire harvester works as one. Yeah, it's got power.
Measuring
Measuring
The Rebel T22HD was designed hand-in-hand with the Cypress Controller — the measuring system trusted by more operators worldwide than any other. This tight integration means the head and controller feel like one machine, giving operators precision control that’s smooth, simple, and reliable even through the longest shifts. With robust, well-guarded sensors and industry-leading components like contactless magnetic encoders and laser find-end, the T22HD delivers unmatched accuracy in log length and quality. The result is faster setup, less downtime, and measuring you can count on every single day — all backed by remote assistance and support direct from the factory.
Feature HighlightsDimensions |

| The Rebel T22HD features a strong frame designed to withstand difficult hardwood and heavily branched softwood. Committing to the highest quality materials available, the T22HD is a combination of lightweight engineering and brute strength steel. Can measure up to 78 cm | 31" wood diameters, but optimal feeding is 10 cm – 61 cm | 4" – 24". Full 360° rotation allows for working in tight areas and eliminates base machine hose damage. | ||

| Top Saw | 0.404" x 74 chain | 10cc motor | 64cm, 21" bar |
| Chain Lube Capacity | 13 litre | 3.5 gal | |
Feature HighlightsMeasuring |
|
| By far the most important feature when working long days is the control system. The operator has to control the harvester like it's an extension of their own hands and the Cypress measuring system bridges that gap. The ease of use, simplicity, reliability and smooth operation make it the most popular measuring system on the market. Prioritizing accurate measuring, log quality checks will become a breeze. As good as the measuring system is, it's only as good as the components, the machine and the operator. The Rebel features well-guarded and robust sensors to assist high quality measurements and log quality. | |
