OUTSTANDING TEAMWORK – THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY, DESIGN AND COMFORTA large display and a multifunctional joystick, perfectly adapted to the operator’s needs – that’s the
PRINOTH CONTROL UNIT. PRINOTH is setting new standards in the cockpit with this innovative yetsimple operating concept.
CONVENIENT AND PRACTICAL AT THE TOUCH OF A FINGER
A tilting 12-inch touchscreen makes everything easy to see. Configure the display tiles for quick accessto the custom user interface and operational settings. A shortcut to the details screen ensures easy
drill down into the settings’ options. The best possible rear camera view is achieved through the large
tile at the top of the display. At the same time important information on the engine, tiller, winch andquick access pages are always visible. Individually adjustable heating and ventilation, head lights
with special profiles, a great stereo, Bluetooth and a hands-free telephone system all add up to an
exceptional driving experience.
EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL
It’s simply brilliant – an improved joystick with an integrated proportional “joystick-in-joystick”
function gives precise control and allows simultaneous blade movement. The latest generation ofEATON’s proven CAN-bus-controlled system optimizes the movements of the attachments and reduces
the number of tubes, makes servicing the machine easier. An ergonomic hand rest on the joystickallows for stress-free grooming even after hours of operation.

Extreme slopes - no problem. PRINOTH’s automatic winch performs reliably in all conditions andterrain. The winch pivot point is located at the center of the groomer, ensuring neutral handlingregardless of the pulling direction. Additionally, the low center of gravity guarantees stability
going both up and downhill.

• ECO MODE WITH REDUCEDPULLING FORCE OF UP TO 3.5 t

LARGE PULLEYS PROVIDEA LARGE RADIUS, WHICH
MEANS LONGER CABLE LIFE

MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICE EASY
The winch can be operated in three different modes with a maximum pulling force of up to 4.5 t.
Automatic pulling force control is for operators of every experience level. Operators can also switch
between manual and ECO modes, depending on their preference. Additionally, the operator canprioritize pulling force or working speed making the winch easy and intuitive to use.
USER FRIENDLY AND RELIABLE
Due to the large radius of the drum, less strain is put on the cable giving it a much longer lifespan. The display in the control unit shows the winch status, pulling force and recommended
turning direction that together with the hydraulic system enable a smooth operation with less wear.
Furthermore, the Roll-Out System option enables the operator to easily pull out the winch cablewithout any extra effort.

is perfectly positioned to give the operator the best overview.
BISON X – GET CREATIVEWith its extended tilling angle range, the BISON X is ideal for parks.
The tiller’s improved kinematics make it extremely maneuverable andhelp build park features accurately. Its new hydraulics also make thecutting angle quicker to adjust. The BISON X can easily till contoured
areas such as waves, transitions and jumping and landing shapes.

FIT FOR EVERY MISSION
The shape of the blade has been developed
to optimize the way snow rolls inside it. This
reduces the force required to move the snow
while increasing the amount of snow being
pushed. Sturdy construction makes it easy totransport snow guns and other equipment. Newhydraulics mean multiple blade movements
can be performed simultaneously.

****More than twice the range of motion than the standard vehicle**Extended tiller movement up to the vertical position

MASTER BLADE
This first-in-class blade can push enormous amounts of snow while producing precise slope edges. Itextends beyond the tracks, which makes it much easier to work very close to obstacles. The precise
angle of the blade teeth make breaking up ice and snow a breeze.
PARK BLADE
The BISON X can also be equipped with the PARK blade as an alternative to the MASTER blade. Its
special tooth geometry facilitates maximum pushing force. The widest park blade available is ideal
for getting close to structures and boundaries. Its vertical cutters help shape precise edges, reducingmanual shoveling. The PARK blade also has a vertically adjustable back-blading cutter at the rear for
cutting off jumps and landings more evenly and effectively.

CABIN COMFORTA COCKPIT FOR TOP PERFORMANCE
Modern, stylish, quiet, comfortable – the BISONS X’s enlarged cabin makes grooming
a pleasure. A generous footwell provides plenty of legroom and the cabin’s ergonomic design, including its tailored Recaro seat, make the cockpit the home base for
producing perfect slopes. Its center seat and tilting touch display give a great allround view and allow the operator to get in and out on either side, a big advantage
for winch vehicles.
THE PERFECT TEMPERATURE
New footwell and windscreen heating fitted as standard and an integrated sunroof
give full temperature control.
Optional: fully automatic air conditioning ensures the perfect temperature in anycondition.
UNIQUE SLIDING SEAT TECHNOLOGY
Exclusively for the BISON X – a sideways-sliding swivel seat enables the operator tochoose between a central or left seating position. The seat can slide up to 500 mm
and together with the turning radius of 15°, provides the operator with the best all
round view espeically when building pipes.

TIME IS MONEY - CONNECTED SERVICESPRINOTH’s Connected Services offer efficient ways of reducing workload and saving money. Modern
technologies assist in managing snow as a valuable resource. They help improve operations by making
work quicker, cheaper and easier. They also offer ways to increase sustainability within a ski resort
and beyond. The functions shown below can be used easily, simply by accessing Skadii – the resort
management platform. Data from different software and hardware providers are shown together in
one integrated user interface.

FLEET MANAGEMENT*

and working data from all vehicles within the ski resort
regardless of vehicle manufacturer can be transmitted.
Web-based applications such as Task Manager and Maintenance Overview show information, services due, andwork operations in real-time, making it easier and more
efficient to manage a ski resort than ever before.

making them easy to use and service.

SNOW DEPTH MEASUREMENT*The satellite-based snow depth measuring systemguarantees precise snow management at any speed.
Snow depth is determined using three measurement
points beneath the blade and another beneath thevehicle itself. This generates highly accurate data inreal time.

USER FRIENDLY
The tools offered on the Skadii platform are intuitiveand easy to use. The digital solutions are developed
in close collaboration with customers with a focus on
the essentials: no unnecessary information or software applications to tie up processor power, so dataloads quickly.

The data is displayed via a single user interface. Thismeans there is no need to switch between different
programmes. The advantage is a solution that saves
time while ensuring constant connection to the data,
helping manage slopes and ski resorts more efficiently.
