The Hypro 500 is a used processor harvester — sometimes referred to as a harvesting head or cut-to-length harvester — a purpose-built forestry machine designed to fell, delimb, and cross-cut timber in a single continuous operation. Hypro is a Norwegian manufacturer with a long-standing focus on forestry machinery and harvesting equipment built for demanding Scandinavian woodland conditions.
This 2008 machine is offered in used condition from Norway and is described by the seller as having originally cost in excess of one million Norwegian kroner, reflecting its specification at the time of build. The entire machine is remotely controlled, giving the operator full wireless command over its functions. The harvesting aggregate is equipped with a new claw and is fitted with chains for seven tyres, providing traction and stability across varied forest terrain.
The crane is a particularly well-specified feature, offering an approximate reach of 870 centimetres and equipped with a radio-controlled winch, giving the operator precise and remote handling capability over a wide working radius. The crane also features two double extensions, contributing to the extended reach figure. Cutting length is adjustable directly from the in-cab screen, allowing the operator to programme and vary log lengths without manual intervention at the head.
Additional equipment includes a Hultdin trap hat — a recognised component in Scandinavian harvesting configurations — along with a trap hood supplied with the unit. The seller notes that a drill rig can be attached to the crane, enabling the machine to function as a drilling rig when required, which broadens its operational versatility. The feeding equipment has been upgraded, and the machine is described as available for delivery within a short timeframe.
