Hello Subscriber
In this second issue of March, Logging-on brings news of Morbark’s new Vtection system which is able to protect their grinders from catastrophic damage when metal or other very hard substances enter the machine along with the biomass. Ponsse gives us a good breakdown of how the Covid-19 situation and the markets affected them during 2020. Volvo begins serial production of their popular FH, FH16, FM and FMX trucks in Sweden, with the factories in Russia and Belgium following soon thereafter. CM Labs is making good progress with their logging machine simulators and have already released their new forwarder simulator training pack, which was developed with input from loggers and in collaboration with Tigercat. Finally, we look at the new compact, but high production PC88MR-11 excavator from Komatsu.
