This Ponsse Buffalo Dual is a used forestry forwarder — sometimes referred to as a timber forwarder — a purpose-built machine used to collect and transport cut timber from the felling site to a roadside landing in forest operations. Ponsse is a Finnish manufacturer with a strong reputation in the professional forestry sector, producing a focused range of harvesters, forwarders, and related forest machinery for demanding harvesting conditions worldwide.
Dating from 2015 and located in Norway, this machine weighs 21,500 kg and operates in an 8x8 wheel configuration, giving it the traction and stability required for difficult terrain. The crane has a reach of 10 metres, allowing the operator to load timber from a wide working radius without repositioning the machine. The hour meter reads 15,000 hours.
A notable feature of this listing is the inclusion of a Ponsse H5 harvesting head from 2018, meaning this machine is equipped with a processing unit that is several years newer than the base forwarder. Alongside the harvesting head, the machine comes with a thinning unit and a clamp complete with a rotator, making it capable of handling a variety of harvesting and thinning tasks. The grapple arrangement is described as having four banks, which relates to the hydraulic valve configuration controlling the attachment functions.
Mechanically, the machine has received new belts and chains, and a rear-view camera is fitted to assist with manoeuvring. The cab is equipped with air conditioning for operator comfort. The seller describes the machine as ready for delivery. The reference number for this listing is 6887.
