“Here at Eco Log, we are in constant dialogue with our customers, and we try to listen to them and learn more about their requests and what they need to make their operations work as optimal as possible,” Emil Forsblom, Head of Product Development at Eco Log said.

“The development work is really a team-effort and the result of this is a spacious harvester cabin with good ergonomics, effective sound insulation, great visibility and a whole new system for cab climate and a well-planned work lightning.

“Also, we have put a lot of effort into the cabins interior, in everything from smart storage and broad charging options to modern palettes and a great sound system. We simply offer a really great cabin.”

The G-series pendulum arm harvesters includes the models 550, 560, 580 and 590. The new Eco Log 580G shares the same platform as Eco Log 590, which means it is an even stronger machine than before.

Eco Log also introduced several, large updates on its pendulum harvesters from a new control system, new rear wheel transmission and anti-spin system to a simplified hydraulic system and several improvements regarding serviceability and safety through improved access. All of these updates are now implemented on the new G-series.

“A lot has happened with our harvesters in the 500-series. We already know that they excel in several areas such as high productivity, reliability and serviceability. This, in combination with the latest updates and now, our new harvester cabin, allows us to offer our customers modern, future-proved machines that are something quite extra,” Mr Forsblom said.
