Prinoth Raptor 300 – New Generation has arrived: Optimized and improved for top performance!
The well-known and popular Prinoth Raptor 300 with the associated Grizzly M650m mulcher has been optimized with a number of improvements to better meet the requirements of the modern working world. New features include:
- 2.0 Cab: Inspired by the successful design of the Raptor 500, the new cab offers a spacious and comfortable interior with maximum visibility and safety.
- Improved driver’s seat: The new Recaro seat offers maximum comfort, even during long working days.
- New joysticks: The controls have been completely redesigned for ergonomic and intuitive operation.
- Reinforced forestry protection frame: Reinforced components at both the front and rear provide additional safety.
- Automatic flap control: The control of the flap is now connected to the push bar to increase comfort and efficiency when working.
- Improved air filter: A new air filter has been specially developed for tough working conditions to ensure optimum performance.
- New color design: The Raptor 300 and its mulcher are presented in an elegant black color.
- Optimized mulcher: A new push bar has been developed for even more effective mulching performance. Reinforced side walls significantly improve the overall stability of the mulcher. The new flap with counter blades enables more efficient shredding of the material. The revised design simplifies operation and maintenance of the mulcher.
With these extensive improvements, we are setting a new standard for performance, comfort and safety in the carrier vehicle sector.

Mulcher Grizzly M650m
The powerful Grizzly M650m mulching attachment with hydraulic push bar and flap, efficient counter blades and the patented UPTs or BCS rotor system ensures perfect mulching results.
Undercarriage – Delta Tracks
The shape of the undercarriage protects the vehicle in case of barriers like stumps and rocks and simplifies backwards rescue. Less stress, better self-cleaning effect and better off-road mobility.
Oscillating tracks
Every side of the Prinoth Raptor 300 can turn around the oscillating axle. This provides additional comfort for the driver and lowers the stress to the vehicle and drive due to vibration, particularly at high speed. Furthermore, damages due to shear stress and thrust decrease. The movable undercarriages ensure maximum driving and working comfort and increase the service life of the entire vehicle.
Power belt drive
Robust and durable, efficient with direct drive and unlimited lifting height. The power belt drive is extremely robust, needs very little maintenance, and has a very high lifting height to cross-severe dips and angles.
Turbo clutch as standard (fluid coupling)
The turbo clutch ensures soft starting of the rotor, this prevents heavy torque peaks and protects the engine. That means stalling of the rotor will not stall the engine. Also under extreme working conditions the entire drive line is protected from shock loads.
Comfortable and safe cabin
The air-conditioned, ergonomic driver’s cab meets the highest safety standards (certified to ROPS / FOPS / OPS) and has a heated driver’s seat (Recaro seat). This enables long working hours in all temperatures.

LED work spotlights
Powerful LED work lights and additional service lighting for round-the-clock operation.
Control and monitoring elements
Clearly arranged, the operator has all functions and parameters at a glance. In addition to comprehensive information, the intuitive display (color 7” display) also supports fault diagnosis of the machine and engine.
Ergonomic driver’s seat
Highest standard in seating quality, comfortable, ergonomic and heated (Recaro seat).
Cab with tilt function
To get access to the components under the cabin, it can be tilted with a hydraulic cylinder to grant optimal accessibility.
Overpressure System
Only filtered air is passed into the cabin. The inside of the cab is pressurized. This helps to prevent dust and dirt from entering the cabin from outside.
Load limit control
An electronic system regulates the delivery rate of the axial piston pumps for the traction drive according to engine speed. For tough jobs, i.e., when there is high resistance on the rotor, the traction drive automatically slows down without the driver having to control it manually. This reduces the strain on the rotor.
Speed control
The Speed Control Function allows the operator to save the working speed and makes it easier for the operator to work with the machine.
Air pressure system
Air pressure system for connecting equipment for maintenance or service and for cleaning the front window.
Active floating head
This function automatically reduces the load on the lifting frame, it increases the performance of the machine and the life time of the components. The attachment floats over and adapts to any uneven ground.
