The hydraulically driven, variable-speed reversing fan runs at the required speed for optimal cooling, reducing fuel consumption as a result. It’s programmable to reverse at periodic intervals to help reduce debris buildup, or it can be actuated at the push of a button if demanded by operating conditions. The reversing fan and side-by-side-by-side cooler arrangement enables efficient cooling and allows for easy cleaning as required.
Variable-speed fan helps to reduce fuel consumption
In colder temperatures the fan speed is reduced to meet machine cooling requirements
Cooling fan automatically reverses to help remove debris at programmable intervals or manually activating the reversing fan feature on the operator control panel

TimberManager™ provides remote visibility to your operation from any device, allowing you to make smart business decisions based on real-time production data
Intelligent Boom Control
Intelligent Boom Control (IBC) smooths boom operations, making them more precise and efficient, to increase operator productivity compared to a wheeled harvester without IBC. With IBC, you no longer need to control each boom function independently. Just control the direction of the head with a single lever command, and IBC will automatically guide the boom and cylinders accordingly. IBC also utilizes adaptive swing control to adjust the swing speed based on the overall position of the head. This makes controlling the head more precise and intuitive, especially for new operators, compared to machines without IBC.
Benefits
Customizable control pattern and boom motions
More efficient and consistent boom movements
IBC functions have been adapted to the work cycle
Automatic adjusting of the harvester head in accordance with the trajectory of the boom
Reduces operator fatigue and increases operator comfort
