CABIN

IN THE BUSINESS
First-rate ergonomics and large windows – just step on the gas and watch the landscapes fly by The PONSSE Bison Active Frame cabin is your vantage point to the latest in forest machine technology. It is a work environment for professionals who value comfort, safety and ergonomics. The control devices are the best you will find in forest machines in terms of their ergonomics. The large cabin, expansive windows and thin window pillars ensure excellent visibility in all directions. On request, the cabin can also be equipped with the best forest machine seat in the world, PONSSE Seat. Together with the Active Frame cabin suspension system, it makes the cabin an extremely comfortable working environment. CVT – CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION
For demanding terrain and challenging conditions – CVT technology provides higher tractive force. You can now switch to any speed without having to stop – naturally depending on the driving situation. The new kind of power transmission featured in PONSSE Bison Active Frame is based on CVT technology, which changes gear ratio steplessly. This means that the traditional switching between the slow and fast gear is no longer necessary. In a machine with CVT transmission, the traditional hydrostatic power transmission can be replaced with a separate CVT gear system. This enables lower fuel consumption and higher torque. The benefits of high torque are revealed especially when driving up steep hills or in soft terrain or deep snow. MERCEDES-BENZ STAGE V CLEANER AND MORE EFFICIENT Explosive power and increased torque. Lower emission level and fuel consumption. The new Mercedes-Benz STAGE V emission engines are efficient and economical. The torque has been increased, and maximum torque can be reached 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 Ill and IV). In addition to particulate matter, the STAGE V engines also now control particulate volume with a particulate filter (DPF). Outside Europe a Tier 4F or Stage Ill level Mercedes-Benz engines are used depending on market specific emission requirements. EXTREME COMFORT AT HIGH SPEEDS
