The N6 is a true thinning harvester in terms of both its features as well as its physical dimensions and weight.
After more than a decade on the market, the Nisula N-series thinning harvester has been fully redesigned to better meet the needs of thinning. The guiding principle of the new design was to develop a thinning harvester that is as practical as possible and complementary to mainstream harvesters. The new N6 is highly suited for thinning´s. The ground pressure of the six-wheel half-track is sufficiently low to allow it to be used also in the summer. Based on feedback, many forest owners have found Nisula’s six-wheel thinning harvester ideal in peaty terrain conditions even in the summer.
The N6 has a completely redesigned, simple frame structure. The fully armoured chassis and high ground clearance enable agile and efficient mobility even in highly challenging terrains. The new N6 is an ideal choice for all types of thinning harvesting, including in peatland forests and normal summer and winter thinning. The N6 has an excellent rigidity in all conditions. No separate tyre ballast is required.
Centre pivot oscillation, wide 42° swing angle of the centre joint and wide tilt angle make N6 suited for all terrains. The new frame design enables an active frame oscillation lock that provides the best possible stability also when moving the machine.
The quiet cab ensures your comfort and coping while you work. In thinning, it is important for productivity that the operator stays alert at all times during day. Large windows provide excellent visibility around the harvester, up to the tops of the trees and down to the ground alongside the machine. The operator sits on a high-quality seat without needing to extend into uncomfortable positions. This also improves productivity. The controls are ergonomically situated. The well-fitting Nisula Easy+ mini levers make it easy to control all the operations required in harvesting ergonomically.
The N6’s hydrostatic-mechanical power transmission with differential locks ensures a smooth and safe ride even in demanding terrains. Driving is precise and controlled. The optional roadworthiness add-on allows the harvester to be transferred between sites by driving.
The N6 is equipped with a four-cylinder Agco Power 49LFTN with a power output of 140 kW (190 hp). With torque of up to 800 Nm, the engine has a heavy flywheel that ensures stability in all conditions. The Stage V engine has been carefully customised for the needs of the N6 to ensure excellent fuel economy. The fuel tank is sufficient for a runtime of about 35 hours.
Sufficient hydraulic capacity is reached at just 1300 to 1500 rpm, depending on the type of stand and harvester head. This ensures extremely low fuel consumption. The recommended harvester head for the N6’s crane is Nisula 555H, which weighs around 800 kg. Other head alternatives for the N6 include Nisula 500H and 335E+ accumulating energy wood head. Source
