Logset Has Developed A Smooth Ride Cabin Suspension

Uncategorised,

Simple And Durable Design

During the FinnMETKO exhibition Logset will present a forwarder with extra wide symmetric tracks, and a renewed control- and measuring system for forest machines

Forest machine manufacturer Logset Oy will launch the Smooth Ride cabin suspension at the FinnMETKO exhibition held in Jämsä August 30th – September 1st, 2018. The Smooth Ride cabin is mounted on four coil springs and four shock absorbers. The simple design makes the Smooth Ride easy to maintain. At the exhibition, the Smooth Ride solution will be presented on a Logset 6F GT forwarder. The forwarder will also have a Stage 5 engine that meets the new EU emission regulations taking effect in 2019.

  • We will provide a track where customers can test drive the Smooth Ride solution during FinnMETKO. Smooth Ride differs from the competitors’ cabin suspension solutions in that it does not contain any hydraulic or electronic components. The solution is economical and reliable, says Managing Director Jussi Malmi.

At FinnMETKO, Logset will also exhibit Finland’s first forwarder with extra wide symmetric tracks. The tracks will be mounted on Logset’s best-selling forwarder model in Finland, the Logset 5F GT. The extra wide tracks increase the load capacity of the forwarder by 20 % while the machine maintains its agility.

  • Even with the wide tracks, the forwarder remains easy to transport. The wide tracks make the Logset 5F GT even more versatile for different types of tasks, Malmi explains.

Logset will also exhibit two harvesters and four harvester heads. All the machines have the renewed TOC 2 control system and new ergonomic control panels. The harvesters also have the renewed measuring device TOC-MD 2. The control system and the measuring device are Linux-based. User friendliness has been a key point in the development process.

Logset 6HP GT

Not Only Logset Fans Talking

Uncategorised, ,

Ville Kopo was positively surprised when he got his new Logset 6HP GT harvester in March 2018. The rotating and levelling cabin of the harvester, as well as the 11-meter-long crane ease his works days significantly.

“I used to drive a harvester with four wheels and a ninemeter crane. Thinning is easier with this new machine and the harvester is a lot steadier. The machine feels more effective and during a work day I get more done than before”, he says.

Even the Logset TH55 harvester head surprised Kopo in a positive way.

– I thought it was only Logset fans talking when they bragged about Logset, but the harvester head has made a great impression on me. Only a button stroke is needed for the tree to go through the head and the measuring accuracy is very good.

Driving A Forest Machine Since Young Age

Kopo studied at Kullaan metsäopisto in Finland and became a forest machine operator at the age of 18 in 2003. First, he worked as an operator for a few years. Then he started his own company and bought a forwarder.

– My first forest machine was a Logset 4F forwarder. I drove it for a couple of years, until I started driving a harvester together with my father.

Today Ville Kopop owns the Logset 6HP GT and his father works for him. They drive the machine in two shifts and both of them work 8–10 hour shift. With the harvester they do everything from thinning to final cut, but most of the worksites are thinnings.

“The best part of my job is that I get to work alone. I listen to the radio a lot”, Kopo says.
