The HR46x was originally designed for the first thinning of young forests. The nearly 25-year-old machine concept has of course gone through a huge number of developments and has been improved in cooperation with clients. It still, however, follows and respects the original idea behind the machine. The HR46x is the most reliable, environmentally-friendly and economical harvester for first thinning of young forests all around the world.
Intelligent frame structure, agile machine
The work place of a thinning harvester is a young forest. It grows fairly densely in order to maximise timber production. Good quality thinning requires that the machine is fairly small and can turn in a small space. The machine also has to be light. This is exactly what the HR46x is. The high-quality frame is light but sturdy. Its unique agility is ensured by the narrowness of the machine as well as the large 50 degree turning angle of the centre joint. The outer radius of the turning circle is 402 centimetres. Tyre width can be selected between 540 and 650 millimetres.
Productivity is done in the cab
The cab of the SAMPO ROSENLEW harvesters has always been located on a different frame than the motor, which is why the working environment is always pleasant and quiet. Working is efficient in the spacious and quiet cab designed by Sampo-Rosenlew Ltd. Visibility is excellent also to the tops of the trees, which is the requirement for choosing the right trees for thinning. The cab design, which fulfils all official standards, makes moving in a dense forest easy and does not harm the remaining trees. Many details that make work easier and more comfortable can be found in the cab.
