The S5 offers all the benefits of the S3 but in a more robust package.
ProSilva introduced a new class of forestry machines in March 2020. A small, light and agile harvester that offers plenty of power, a stable working environment and a full-reach crane. The Prosilva S3 harvester has proved popular with customers. During discussions, the question raised was regarding a machine that could carry a larger harvester head. This resulted in the development of a big brother for the S3, the Prosilva S5. The design was based on the same approach and concept; a light, narrow, high-performance machine with a simple and easy-to-maintain design. The S5 offers all the benefits of the S3 but in a more robust package.
The S5 harvester has all the good features and power of its little brother the S3. Its crane base is a reinforced HD model, which allows larger cranes and harvester heads to be used safely and conveniently. As a six-wheeler this harvester is stable and easy to use. The wheel arrangement (34” rear and 26.5” front), is the harvester’s winning feature, giving it an excellent load-bearing capacity on soft surfaces. With its narrow design and low centre of gravity the S5 leaves as small a footprint as possible in the forest.
The S5 harvester has been designed to be a pleasure to work in as the ergonomics, space and visibility of the cab have received priority. Operator comfort is further enhanced by automatic cab rotation as well as optional automatic stabilization. Source
