Among the featured items at the Chadwick-BaRoss display at the Northern Logger show was the Ponsse line of timber harvesters.

Ponsse recently released the new Scorpion King harvester and although one was not available at the show, a Maine logging company recently purchased one

Among other upgrades, the new Scorpion King features a stronger boom that allows a larger harvester head to be used.

The crane of the new Ponsse is attached to the cabin of the machine, which is called a rotating cabin. This allows operators to always face what they are cutting, greatly improving visibility and comfort. Because good operators are hard to find, operator comfort is more important than ever in helping employers keep their workforce. This feature is especially important in a state like Maine where trees are often harvested in overgrown areas and visibility is particularly challenging.

Ponsse also has committed to leading the industry in digital technology by dedicating many resources to data gathering and automation. The company's automation systems allow it to track production, fuel consumption, travel distances as well as the location of the machine and its maintenance needs.

Ponsse's harvester head was another point of interest at the show. In a region like Maine, where there is a diverse and wide variety of trees, traditional logging requires the use of different harvester heads per tree type. However, Ponsse's head has been engineered to be used in multiple applications, resulting in a significant saving to the owner in both investment and time.

With locations in Westbrook, Bangor and Caribou, Chadwick-BaRoss has a long history of serving the Maine logging industry and offers provides service and support for a large variety of logging, construction and municipal equipment.
