Pro Silva same as HSM I think?

 

Pro Silva

 

I've been to their factory over in Finland. Are HSM not a German company that makes steep decent harvesters with the extra oil pumps and sumps with a big winch on the back?

A Few more. I seem to of misplaced my folder with the 901 and the 1070 in.

I didn't spend too much time in the 901. I like the visibility of the side mounted crane. The cab is a little cramped and the button layout is unusual. It Was nice i was so use to JD and Ponnse that it was all a little new. I did so much in the 1270 that it was easier for me to jump into 1070.

 

If i had a choice of what thinnings harvester i had i would choose Ponnse Beaver. Or Ergo if we're you want a bigger machine, but not with the silly telescopic/parallel crane thing with the wheel of hoses on. Give me a proper parallel crane.

What do people think of the Ponsse 'scorpion' configuration?

The company who had my machine before me went to a Ponsse Fox which is a touch bigger than the beaver? I'm told they are aggressive "point and shoot" machines and that I wouldn't like it?! Like you, familiar with TJ now so would want to stick with it. Looked at a 911 but couldn't fit in the cab! Seriously cramped in there!

Crane; directly over your head so you can't see the tassle any better than in a front mounted crane. Chassis; now in 3 parts? - initial misgivings about reliability don't seem to have reared their heads... Not exactly qualified to comment tho..

Just a little 15 hectare seed fell of some final fell scots. Slightly to big really for the machine but we will manage.

The 911.4 cab is huge easy get 2 people in it. The .3 cab was quite small businesses n comparison.

It was a pre Komatsu Valmet; 911.1 or .3; had a 360 head on it from memory. I'll dig out the pics...
