LOGSET ladies prove a hit at APF 2010 Titan 10f launch
Logset have put a lot of effort into R&D recently despite the challenging times throughout the industry and together with its UK dealer, RJ Fukes Forestry Services, launched the new 10F Titan forwarder at the APF show last month.
Logset ladies Outi Hirvi, Janniina Hirvelä, Meiju Kahila and,Minna Saksa raised testosterone levels to boiling point around the stand which drew in high numbers of visitors.
The APF show was the international premiere for the 10F Titan forwarder. They also introduced new versions of the 8H and 10H harvesters, now equipped with their new TOC MD operating and measuring system.
Also, there was a 5F Titan forwarder on display with some new options as detailed below. The Logset 10F has a load capacity of 18 tonnes. Previously, Logset launched four Titan models in 2008: the 4F (10 tonnes), 5F (12tonnes), 6F (13 tonnes) and 8F (15 tonnes).
The 10F Titan has a new spacious cabin. Special attention has been paid to the ergonomics and user friendliness. The visibility is unobstructed in all directions. The high quality interior, fully automatic climate control and excellent sound insulations guarantee the best possible driver comfort.
Storage room in the cabin has been one of the top priorities yet the driver has more than enough space to manoeuvre easily in the wide cabin.
The TOC® control system of the 10F Titan forwarder provides optimal fuel economy and maximum productivity. The TOC system offer versatile driver settings and controls all the main functions, such as the engine, crane, transmission, lights, air conditioning and cruise control as well as some optional functions e.g. PC, cameras, central lubrication and a mobile phone controlled engine heater.
The TOC is continuously collecting online information on machine functions; this information is clearly displayed for the operator. The main screen and sub menus are clear and easy to learn. The TOC system together with Agco Sisu engines optimize the fuel injection in accordance with: the prevailing engine load, hydraulic pressure and flow requirements and in all possible circumstances ensuring optimal fuel economy.
The design and structure of the 10F forwarder is exceptionally robust and thus reliable. It has been designed to withstand the hardest conditions in its main markets such as Russia, North America and Latin America.
The large load bay, powerful crane and efficient power transmission provide the best possible productivity. New options - Logset Forwarders and Harvesters
In addition to the new 10F Titan forwarder, Logset will also introduce plenty of new options for their existing machine models. Balancing bogies are available for Logset 5F, 6F and 8F forwarders. The 6F and 8F forwarders can be equipped with 180cc work pump to increase speed and productivity. The 5F, 6F and 8Fforwarders are now available as 6 wheeled models.
Dippers with internal hosing and electronic dampers can be fitted to all forwarder cranes. Logset will also introduce expandable load bays for the 6F and 8Fforwarders. We now have conventional and wireless crane scale options available for all our forwarders.
On the harvester side, the 5H and 8H harvesters now come with 190cc and 210cc work pumps. Other new options include an accumulator for the main lift cylinder, a self levelling kingpost and damping sensors for the slew, main lift, dipper and steering limits.
Logset have introduced new engine technology and visitors learnt how the new Tier 3B and Tier 4 emission standards will affect forest machines in 2011 and 2014and also displayed in their tent a new generation engine with AdBlue technology.
Logset and RJ Fukes Forestry Services would like to thank all visitors and organisers for a successful APF show.
