THE MOST BALANCEDPERFORMANCEPONSSE SCORPION KINGTHE MOST BALANCEDPERFORMANCEPONSSE SCORPION KING, already a living legend, has been reborn. The symbolof usability, agility and productivity is now even better than before. Raw poweris filtered through the new cabin and the operator into the effective and precise
harvesting for which Scorpion King is famous.
The operator has remained at the core of the design of PONSSE Scorpion King.
When the operator feels comfortable, they can get all the power out of themachine, and power is something Scorpion King certainly has to offer.
NEW PONSSE FUTURE CABINPONSSE Scorpion King is still a beast of a harvester, while it is now more modern,stylish and comfortable. The best properties are still there – just upgraded fromthe feedback of operators. The entirely new cabin is full of features that improvevisibility, safety, ergonomics and usability. All of these increase the operator’s
comfort, while the completely new air conditioning system, larger storage spaces
and dozens of other small details add their finishing touches.
When you step into the spacious and quiet new cabin, you can experience a newkind of dignity never seen in work machines before. The new stylish design, highquality upholstery and more space make you feel that everything is in its rightplace, but with a higher level of quality.

PONSSE SCORPION KINGSTABILITY UNDER ALL CONDITIONS
The incredible stability of PONSSE Scorpion King comes from its eight wheels and active system. This patented
system is based on detecting the crane direction and position, on the basis of which the rear frame is pressed in
the working direction. Pressing the rear wheels against the ground and the weight of the rear frame improve themachine’s stability significantly when working on the side of the machine – also when the machine is moving.

NEW PONSSE FUTURE CABIN
More space, high-quality materials and a stylishdesign raise the comfort of the machine cabin
to an entirely new level. In this machine, theatmosphere is everything but rough. Whenthe door is closed from the outside world andeverything is quiet, stylish and in its right place,the atmosphere is closer to a fancy car than awork machine.

ENGINE AND HYDRAULICS
The engine and strong hydraulics produce morethan enough power, both in harvesting andtransmission. Scorpion is equipped with singlecircuit hydraulics, well-suited for varying harvesting
conditions. Scorpion King has a powerful twocircuit hydraulic system, particularly good inregeneration felling. The power, torque and fueleconomy of the Mercedes-Benz are better thanever. The advanced transmission offers excellent
handling and machine control – especially indemanding conditions and uneven terrain.

LEVELLINGThe Cabin leveling balances the cabin in difficult
terrain. The frame of the machine consists ofthree parts linked by rotating joints. The cabin
and crane are located in the middle frame, whichis kept hydraulically balanced, while the front andrear frames tilt according to the terrain. The
pivot point of lateral leveling is very low, which not
only keeps the cabin straight, but also minimizes
any lateral swaying and keeps the centre ofmass at the machine’s centre line.

EIGHT WHEELS
The incredible stability of the PONSSE Scorpion King comesfrom its eight wheels and active stabilisation system. The
unique stabilisation system is based on detecting thedirection and position of the crane, and then pressing
the rear frame in the direction of work. Pressing the rear
wheels against the ground and the weight of the rear frame
improve the machine’s stability significantly when working
on one side – including when the machine is moving.
Excellent movement and balanced weight distribution in all
situations guarantee a low surface pressure.

HARVESTER ACTIVE CRANE
Active Crane is like an arm that can reach for the trunk without having to think throughevery motion. It makes the crane easier to use, helping new operators in particular towork more economically and without stressing the machine’s structures. The boom’s
end damping prevents shocks in extreme positions. This reduces the stress on thecrane and improves comfort. The solution is technically simple and remains reliable
even in extreme conditions.

CRANE
The PONSSE C50 crane has unique geometry and a two arm lift boom that moves overthe cabin offering excellent visibility and balance. The C50 crane also offers unbeatable
movement geometry that can maneuver up to 11 m.

HARVESTER HEADSPONSSE harvester heads are known for their high efficiency/weight ratios and durablestructure, which are second to none. A broad harvester head range is available forScorpion King: choose H5 or H6 for thinning-based harvesting, or the sturdy H7regeneration felling. H7 HD Euca is efficient when harvesting eucalyptus.

NEW PONSSE FUTURE CABINWITH A VIEW
It is all about the operator.

PONSSE SEATThe NEW PONSSE Future Cabin is a completely new cabin filled with improved properties.
Further improved visibility is one of the most important features. The windows are now morecurved and uniformed all the way to the roof. The window material is laminated polycarbonate,
which is stronger than the material used before, with improved optical and strength
properties. The windows meet the requirements of the ISO 21876:2020 saw chain shot
standard. The operator can check the location of the front wheels and any obstacles throughthe small windows in the lower part of the cabin. The left B-pillar has been moved backwards,
and the right B-pillar has been removed altogether to offer an unobstructed visibility on bothsides. The cabin now has more space for the operator and their belongings. However, themore stylish and enjoyable interior design is one of the most visible new features. The newturning seat, the PONSSE Opti 8 touchscreen, and its completely new and revolutionary
PONSSE Opti 5G information system also increase comfort.

The breathable fabric and ergonomic seatsupports, guarantee improved working
comfort. Seat fabric is especially durable andthe dirt repellent surface makes cleaning
effortless. A strong base provides the seatwith superior reliability and stability. Thanks
to the suspension specifically designed forforest machines, the PONSSE Seat effectively
decreases swinging and impacts towards
the operator. All adjustment controls areconveniently located at the front of the seatcushion. The removable cushion gives easy
access to the seat base for maintenance.

HARVESTERACTIVE CRANE
New Harvester Active Crane system makes the crane even easier to use.
The operator does not need to control different joint movements: they only
need to move the harvester head in the desired direction at the desired
speed. End damping smooths operations crane movements, reducing stressto the crane and operator, as there is no sudden swaying or jolting. Active
Crane also helps new operators to learn economical working methods thatsave the machine. Only one additional module has been added to the crane,
and the extension cylinder now includes a magnetic sensor, ensuring simple
and reliable technological solutions. Harvester Active Crane, available as anoption, requires the Opti 5G control system.

PONSSE OPTI 5G – THIS IS THE FUTURE OF HARVESTING*PONSSE Opti 5G is here. Fast, user-friendly and made for operators,
it is effortless to use. Clear logic makes the system possible to learneven without reading the manual. The transition from old to new isalso exceptionally easy.
Daily routines and tuning can be done in a second without
wading through menus, and frequently used functions have beenstreamlined.
The data produced by Opti 5G is used in digital services. You canmonitor fleet operations and location, as well as manage transport.
An upgraded Eco Drive feeds the operator real-time information foroptimising their work and the machine’s performance.
* Market area-specific differences applies in the availability of Opti 5G

The new Mercedes-Benz STAGE V emission engines are efficient andeconomical. The torque has been increased, and maximum torque can bereached at lower engine speeds.
The Mercedes-Benz STAGE V emission engines are modern, low-emission
engines with significantly lower particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxide(NOx) emissions compared to engines of the previous emission levels(STAGE III and IV).
In addition to particulate matter, the STAGE V engines also now control
particulate volume with a particulate filter (DPF).

Outside Europe an EU Stage V/Tier 4F or Stage IIIA level Mercedes-Benzengine is used depending on market specific emission requirements.
