Harvesting for Komatsu will be the 901XC,
a thinning harvester with extreme stability
and good reach, as well as the 931XC, a
powerful offering with considerable stability and
low ground pressure. With eight wheels, operator
comfort is high in both machines, ground damage is
reduced and manoeuvrability is excellent in steep terrain.
The Komatsu 951, the company’s largest and most
powerful harvester, will also be on display and working
in the woods. With its high productivity and operator
comfort, the Komatsu 951 harvester is especially suitable
for clear-cutting.
Three Komatsu forwarders will help with the mammoth
clearing task. The agile 845, built to provide the highest
possible productivity in thinning and lighter clear-cutting;
the powerful yet compact 855, a good all-round forwarder,
suitable for both thinning and clear-cutting, and the 875,
a profitable forwarder in a class of its
own.
Also on display as a static machine will
be the Komatsu 895 forwarder, designed for
high productivity. Every component has been
developed and optimised for a load capacity of 20
tonnes. The 2017 model is even more powerful than
before, with higher power, torque and tractive force,
ensuring outstanding performance for heavy loads.PONSSE
Forwarding for Finnish forestry giant Ponsse will be four
very impressive machines, easily recognisable by their
distinctive design and yellow-and-black livery. Among
them is the next-generation Ponsse Bison Active Frame
forwarder, with its CVT power transmission and Active
Frame cabin suspension system raising productivity to
an entirely new level, especially when transporting long
distances. The Ponsse Elephant forwarder will show offTHE STARS OF THE
