Logset builds a 500-meter test drive track
The conditions on the track simulate forest conditions. Every forest machine leaving the factory is evaluated on the new track. The track is divided into sections that allow testing of the machines in different conditions. The track has significantly improved the quality and efficiency of Logset’s machine testing process. The test drive track consists of six different sections: a straight part for acceleration, speed and deceleration, slopes for traction and changes in load conditions, a calibration and sawing area for harvesters where the harvester head is calibrated by feeding and sawing logs, a loading area for testing and adjusting the crane, and a bounce track for cabin suspension and levelling.
