“Thinning operations require agility, visibility and the ability to work effectively at sites with limited space. We decided to optimise two of our popular machine models precisely for these requirements. The new versions of the Scorpion and Wisent provide our customers with tailor-made solutions for thinning work,” says Marko Mattila, Chief, Sales, Service & Marketing Officer at Ponsse.
The PONSSE Wisent Thin Line is a 10-tonne load capacity forwarder designed for thinning sites. Its load space solution, optimized for thinning operations, makes work easier and the forwarder an ideal choice for thinning sites. The lower overall weight and reduced ground pressure improve its suitability for harvesting on soft terrain.The forwarder’s lights have also been upgraded based on customer feedback.
The PONSSE Scorpion Thin Line is based on the well-known Scorpion harvester, whose strengths include excellent visibility of the working area, stable operation, and good crane reach and control. In the Thin Line version, the machine settings are specifically optimized for thinning operations to ensure the best possible fuel efficiency. The PONSSE H5 and the new H6 harvester head are available for the Scorpion Thin Line harvester.
“Thinning is a key part of forest management and a daily task for many of our customers. In thinning operations, the quality of the work is of great importance, affected in particular by the operator’s professional skills, but the right machine selection also plays a role. With these new Scorpion and Wisent versions, harvesting professionals have even more versatile options at their disposal,” Mattila notes.
The new PONSSE Thin Line machines also feature an upgraded audio sound system and a new colour scheme.
