MANUFACTURER Eco Log has introduced a new harvester cabin and a series of harvesters to go with it. 

In one of the first major reveals at the Swedish Forestry Expo, the firm launched its G Series of machines on all but one of its existing harvester models. The 550, 560, 580 and 590 will all be upgraded, with only the 668 continuing to be offered in just the F Series format. 

To go with the new harvesters, Eco Log has updated its cabin, offering a "whole host of upgrades" on the previous design.

Emil Forsblom, head of product development at Eco Log, said: "I really want to highlight our new 580G. It excels through versatility and strength, and I am sure that anyone who tries it will agree.

"A lot has happened with our harvesters in the 500 Series. We already know that they excel in several areas such as high productivity, reliability and serviceability. 

Forestry Journal:

"This, in combination with the latest updates and now, our new harvester cabin, allows us to offer our customers modern, future-proved machines that are something quite extra." 

Last autumn, Eco Log introduced several, large updates on the pendulum harvesters – from a new control system, new rear wheel transmission and anti-spin system to a simplified hydraulic system and several improvements regarding serviceability and safety through improved access. All of these updates are now implemented on the new G Series.

In terms of the new cabin, Eco Log says it offers: 

  • A spacious cabin with ample storage possibilities. 
  • Windows made of thick safety glass and secure access routes via a brand new platform that allows you to enter and exit your cab via the side-mounted door both easily and safely.
  • A brand-new approach for the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system. 
  • Modern and well-thought-out interior. 
  • All G series harvesters are equipped with our Eco Log NexSci control system, user-friendly keypads, an eleven-button joystick, and a new sound system with integrated subwoofer that is compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Emil said: "Here at Eco Log, we are in constant dialogue with our customers and we try to listen to them and learn more about their requests and what they need to make their operations work as optimal as possible. 

"The development work is really a team effort and the result of this is a spacious harvester cabin with good ergonomics, effective sound insulation, great visibility and a whole new system for cab climate and a well-planned work lightning. 

Forestry Journal:

"Also, we have put a lot of effort into the cabin's interior, in everything from smart storage and broad charging options to modern palettes and a great sound system. We simply offer a really great cabin." 

In its debut year, the Swedish Forestry Expo is running from June 1 to June 3 in Stockholm, and features some of the biggest names in forestry. Forestry Journal is in attendance, and will have full coverage across our channels.
