Sampo Rosenlew has launched a brand new six-wheel HR56 harvester. One of the hallmarks of the company’s machines has been their suitability for thinning young forests, so the new model is a natural step in the development of its range. Source: Timberbiz

The HR56 is based on the company’s best-selling HR46x four-wheel harvester with new features that improve efficiency and productivity.

The familiar components used in the construction of the machine combined with the tried and tested technical solutions ensure low operating and maintenance costs.

The HR56 is now equipped with a Logmer crane with 10-meters reach and also has a new front bogie, so the surface pressure exerted on the ground by the six-wheeled machine is low. The front bogie combined with a low centre of gravity make the machine stable to work with.

The HR56 harvester is an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly choice for thinning and harvesting energy wood. It is a comprehensively sensible package with low operating and maintenance costs.
