PONSSE Ergo

Active feedback by our customers has introduced a number of improvements to the PONSSE Ergo. PONSSE Ergo, an established forerunner, is now even more efficient and productive harvester. The new C4 crane, H7 harvester head and general improvements to the machine together with the new Opti4G 4.602 version and the new-generation control modules make the machine the most advanced harvester in its size class. Driving comfort is guaranteed by the new active damping system patented by Ponsse. Operating comfort has also been developed. The PONSSE Ergo is fitted with the most versatile crane (sliding boom crane HN125, HN200 and the new C4, and parallel crane C33) and harvester head models (the H60 series, H73e and new H7) in the markets. Available in October 2007.

PONSSE Ergo is clearly the most powerful harvester in its size category. The power is based on double circuit working hydraulics powered by a strong Mercedes-Benz diesel engine. One of two large-capacity pumps supplies oil for the crane movements, while the other is dedicated exclusively to harvester head operations. The system enables the use of many simultaneous movements and operations without movement speed changes that complicate work. With Ergo's control unit, harvester operators can take full advantage of all their skills, unconstrained by limitations imposed by the basic machine.

Thanks to the patented active front axle suspension system, the ergonomics of the Ergo are top-rate. The system keeps the cab upright on uneven terrain and, thanks to its lowered centre of gravity, eliminates the discomfort caused to the operator by swaying from side to side better than any other system.

Although it has the powerful features of a large machine, the Ergo's agility, low base weight and active suspension system, which evenly spreads its ground pressure, also make it appropriate for the most fragile terrain and thinning sites. Because it can be equipped with different cutting heads, cranes, tyres, salt backfill and other options, the Ergo can be adapted to fit the most varied conditions, according to the end user's needs.
