Active Cabin Enhances Com­fort in Deman­ding Con­di­tions

The renewed Ponsse Bison takes ope­ra­tor com­fort and cost efficiency to a new level. Deve­lop­ment has focused especially on the operator’s daily work and on solu­tions that sup­port pro­duc­tive ope­ra­tions in all con­di­tions.

One of the most sig­ni­ficant new fea­tu­res is the optio­nal Active Cabin sus­pen­sion sys­tem. The sys­tem impro­ves ope­ra­tor com­fort, par­ticu­larly during long wor­king days. By allowing the cabin to move inde­pen­dently and in a cont­rol­led man­ner from the mac­hine frame, ope­ra­tor strain is reduced and it beco­mes easier to stay focused on the task at hand.

CVT Trans­mis­sion Deli­vers Smooth­ness and Efficiency

Ope­ra­tor com­fort is furt­her enhanced by Bison’s CVT trans­mis­sion, which enables seam­less tra­vel from stands­till to maxi­mum speed wit­hout gear chan­ges. The result is smoot­her dri­ving and hig­her pro­duc­ti­vity, especially in con­di­tions where hig­her tra­vel speeds can be uti­lized.

The CVT trans­mis­sion pro­vi­des almost maxi­mum trac­tive effort right from zero speed, enabling power­ful starts, strong acce­le­ra­tion, and efficient ope­ra­tion even in deman­ding ter­rain. As vehicle speed is cont­rol­led by the trans­mis­sion ratio rat­her than engine RPM, the engine can ope­rate wit­hin its most efficient range. This results in lower fuel con­sump­tion.

The trans­mis­sion relies more on mec­ha­nical and less on hydrau­lic power trans­fer, impro­ving ove­rall efficiency and fuel eco­nomy com­pa­red to tra­di­tio­nal hydros­ta­tic solu­tions. Relia­bi­lity is furt­her enhanced by gear­box pres­sure lubrica­tion as well as efficient oil coo­ling and filt­ra­tion, ensu­ring depen­dable per­for­mance even in deman­ding ope­ra­ting con­di­tions.

The com­bi­na­tion of Active Cabin and the CVT trans­mis­sion makes dri­ving com­for­table, cont­rol­led, and efficient. The result is a forwar­der that sup­ports the ope­ra­tor throug­hout the work­day while hel­ping main­tain high pro­duc­ti­vity in chal­len­ging har­ves­ting con­di­tions.

Grea­ter Ope­ra­ting Range, Lower Weight

The new Bison also offers impro­ved ope­ra­ting range. With the optio­nal addi­tio­nal fuel tank, fuel capacity can be inc­rea­sed to up to 280 lit­res, enabling lon­ger wor­king periods between refue­ling stops.

In addi­tion, the weight of the new Bison has been reduced by approxi­ma­tely 1,000 kilo­grams. The ligh­ter struc­ture impro­ves maneu­ve­ra­bi­lity and ter­rain per­for­mance while sup­por­ting efficient ope­ra­tions in a wide range of har­ves­ting con­di­tions wit­hout com­pro­mi­sing per­for­mance.

A Cost-Effec­tive Solu­tion for Modern Fore­stry

Lightweight yet power­ful, the new Bison is desig­ned to deli­ver high pro­duc­ti­vity, excel­lent ope­ra­tor com­fort, and com­pe­ti­tive ope­ra­ting costs. The result is a cost-effec­tive solu­tion that meets the demands of modern fore­stry ope­ra­tions.
