Introducing the fourth-generation Malwa 560

The Malwa 560 comes in three models: harvester, forwarder and combi.

The most notable difference compared to previous models is that the 560.4, with its new 2,8 litre CAT-engine, meets the demands according to Euro 5/Stage-V. The new engine comes equipped with a particulate filter and catalyst, but still doesn´t use AdBlue. All the checkpoints and filters are now concentrated at the front under the hood. This allows daily supervision to become easier and more accessible. The 560.4 is also more silent and has better torque. The hydraulic pumps are now source from Bosch Rexroth and the fuel tank is larger. Apart from the new engine, there are also other improvements to increase the performance and user friendliness of the machine. A few examples are as follows:

  • The control system has been modernized with the latest generation of Ican-modules, larger touch screen and remote diagnostics as standard.
  • A modem for operational information is available and can be accessed via a smart phone.
  • Bogie chainsaw are 25 % stronger than before.
  • Traction has increased by 10 %.
  • The working light is power regulated.
  • The harvester comes with a stronger crane from FTG Cranes. It has more robust slewing power and a stronger crane pillar and main boom.
  • The forwarder has a new loading area with solid bunks and a new gate.
  • There are better opportunities for customization with a wider range of options.
