This Ponsse Bison S15 is a used forestry forwarder — sometimes referred to as a timber forwarder or log forwarder — a machine purpose-built for extracting and transporting felled timber from the harvest site to a roadside landing. Ponsse is a well-established Finnish manufacturer with a long-standing reputation for building robust, purpose-engineered forestry machinery, including harvesters, forwarders, and related equipment, primarily serving professional logging and forest management operations.
This example dates from 2000 and is located in Finland, offered in used condition at a listed price of $30,000, with a noted tax component of 7,650 EUR at a rate of 25.50%.
According to the seller's notes, the machine is fitted with a K70 crane, which is the primary loading and unloading system used to handle timber bundles at the stump and at the roadside. The crane is described as being equipped with a heavy-duty grapple, providing the gripping force needed to handle large or dense timber loads reliably. The machine is also noted to feature mini-joystick controls, a configuration that places compact, ergonomic control levers within easy reach of the operator to manage crane movement, grapple function, and machine operation.
Beyond these details, the seller's notes do not provide further specification data such as load capacity, engine output, drive configuration, or service history, so no additional technical claims can be made.
