Scheff Log­ging & Truc­king Inc. recei­ved an invi­ta­tion to come and receive the 21,000th Ponsse forest mac­hine manu­fac­tu­red in Vie­remä, Fin­land. The mac­hine to be han­ded over is the PONSSE Buf­falo 8W. Paul Esta­brooks and his team from Ponsse North Ame­rica are also celebra­ting the hand over in Vie­remä.  

PONSSE Mana­ger 2.0 is desig­ned to be user-friendly, and it pro­vi­des a per­so­na­lized front page, based on your own pre­fe­rences, as well as more detai­led reports. The sys­tem is easier to use and allows you to get exactly the right infor­ma­tion for your needs. You get compre­hen­sive tools for accu­ra­tely trac­king mac­hine pro­duc­ti­vity, and you can moni­tor out­put in near real-time from various views.

This year, Ponsse celebra­tes its 55th year of ope­ra­tion with the theme of Wor­king toget­her at log­ging sites across the World. While the load-car­rying forest trac­tor has chan­ged its shape over the years and deve­lop­ment has con­ti­nued, the story of the company’s name and Ponsse the Dog that wan­de­red around the vil­lage of Vie­remä still lives on.  To celebrate the anni­ver­sary, we are now publis­hing a photo of Ponsse the Dog for the first time. 

The mixed breed dog run­ning around the Vie­remä vil­lage would not have gues­sed that its name would be remem­be­red for deca­des. The first forwar­der deve­lo­ped by forest mac­hine ent­repre­neur Einari Vidgrén was named Ponsse after that dog.
