The N5 provides for a low capital carrier machine for thinning operations while being light on the soil.
The features of the N5 thinning machine are designed for thinning machine conditions. The frame structure of the N5 has been designed strong and straightforward. The fully armoured chassis and high ground clearance allow agile movements and work efficiency even in highly challenging terrain. The new six wheel model is optimal for soft soil and steeper slopes. The N5’s centre pivot oscillation, wide 42° swing angle of the centre joint and wide tilt angle make it a true all-terrain harvester. The turning radius measured from the centre of the tyre is only 5.25 m. The new frame solution allows an active frame oscillation lock that brings good stability when the machine is moved to a new location.
The quiet cab enhances work comfort and helps the operator cope with the challenges of work. In thinning, it is important that the operator is alert throughout the working day. This improves safety and productivity. Large glazing provides good visibility around the harvester, from the tops of the trees down to the ground right next to the machine. The operator can sit comfortably on a high-quality seat without having to stretch their neck. The locations of the controls are ergonomically correct. The Easy+ pre-selection switches of mini levers make it easy to manage all the operations required in timber harvesting. The standard equipment of Nisula harvesters includes high-quality audio equipment and Bluetooth for the mobile phone.
The hydrostatic-mechanical power transmission with differential axle locks ensures a smooth and safe ride even in the most demanding terrains. Driving is precise and controlled. Moving from one felling area to another is fast. The maximum transport speed is 40 km/h (25 mph). The N5 is equipped with the reliable Agco Power 4.9 AWI engine (127 kW / 173 hp). The output and torque of this long-stroke, four-cylinder engine are optimal for timber harvesting. Sufficient hydraulic capacity is reached at 1300 to 1500 r/min, depending on the felling area and the harvester head. This guarantees low fuel consumption of between 6.5 to 8 litres per hour, depending on the felling area. Source
