IN HARVESTINGPRODUCTIVE FLEXIBILITY

PONSSE BUFFALODUAL RAISES THE FLEXIBILITY IN HARVESTING TO A NEW LEVEL

PONSSE BuffaloDual is an effective harvester and strong forwarder all in one – economically at the operating costs of a single machine. PONSSE BuffaloDual can be converted from harvester to forwarder and back in just minutes. Its technology has been tested in practice, being at the solid Ponsse level familiar from other models.

load carrying capacity is 14 tons, or up to 15 tons with a balanced bogie. A powerful loader, efficient hydraulics and high pulling power ensure smooth forwarding, and felling is nearly as efficient as with a specialised harvester. Being a full-blooded forwarder, loading and driving can be carried out effectively, while unloading and the sorting of different assortments can be performed effortlessly.

For harvesting, PONSSE BuffaloDual offers the features of modern harvesters, including the PONSSE H5 harvester head and Opti4G measuring device system. The

Mercedes-Benz diesel engine offers volumes of power and torque, even in challenging harvesting situations.

POWER AND PRECISION BuffaloDual’s strong hydraulics and precise loader control enable easy and secure loading operation. The loader has a maximum reach up to 9 m (29.5 feet).

PONSSE BuffaloDual flexibly supplements the capacity of standard machines, and excels at sites where flexibility is the key. It is also a cost-efficient solution at sites where the use of two machines is too much and too expensive.

PONSSE BuffaloDual is based on the PONSSE Buffalo forwarder. It is a simple and strong dual machine solution that does not require any expensive special components.

The capacity of the reliable machine meets all harvesting needs from final felling to small-diameter stands, from thinning to energy wood harvesting. Its

The technology and hydraulics offer longer service intervals, increasing effective operating hours and reducing operating costs. In addition, easy access

to important components speeds up maintenance. Important developments in the new product series include the positioning of components and

service points, as well as the ease of maintenance.

THE MOST COMFORTABLE OFFICE IN THE FIELDTHE PONSSE BUFFALODUAL CABIN offers a viewpoint to the latest forest machine technology. It provides a working environment forskilled professionals who value comfort, safety and ergonomics. The ergonomics of the controls represent the cutting edge of forest machines and, thanks to the large cabin, wide windows and thin window pillars, the visibility from the cabin is excellent in all directions. The PONSSE Comfort forest machine user interface has been developed together with operators and it utilises years of experience.

THE PONSSE ECODRIVE application provides operators with useful and easily understandable information about the use of the machine. Through the machine’s control system, it monitors machine load and fuel consumption for each function and indicates in real time whether the operator’s working methods and machine controls are economical and efficient. Eco-Drive lets you focus on what is essential in order to develop working methods.

LESS SERVICE, MORE OPERATION CLEAN PERFORMANCE WITH NEW ENGINES

Ponsse uses the latest Mercedes-Benz/MTUengine technology to provide the highestperformance and fuel economy with excellentreliability. They provide high torque at lower rpmlevel, as well as significantly lower emissionlevels. In Europe Stage V-engines are used whereparticle mass (PM) and amount of nitrous oxidesare significantly lowered. Along with particle mass,in the new STAGE V level engines also numberof particles is reduced by a diesel particulate filter(DPF).
