According to Logset customers the forwarder model is world class especially when it comes to felling operations on soft grounds. Now this favourite forwarder model has been renewed.

The updated machine model has a 4-cylinder AGCO Power 49 LFTN diesel engine according to the most recent Stage 5 emission regulations from EU. The new engine has approximately 20 horse powers more than the previous model with 140 kW instead of 127 kW.

The cooler is more efficient, and it cools down the hydraulics effectively. An electrically controlled visco clutch for the cooler fan is standard. Due to the changes the forwarder is more silent. Also, the new LFTN engine is easier to service. Hydraulic lash adjustment makes the valve clearance adjustment unnecessary, which reduces the time needed for interval services.

All updates have been made as to feedback and development ideas from the brand’s customers and dealers. The 30 litre DEF tank is now made of plastic and can be found in the renewed front hatch on the right side. The tank has a big screw cap that makes refills easier without spills.

“This is only one example of the changes we have made to ease the everyday life of the operators”,

says Designer Mika Myllymäki.

The machine hydraulics have been developed and the crane is now provided with a Parker 220 crane valve. The forwarder is delivered with a Mesera 83 crane with integrated hoses as standard.

Smooth Ride cabin suspension now possible

Customers have requested to have the Smooth Ride cabin suspension in the 5F GT forwarder, which is now possible. The cabin suspension was first introduced in the larger Logset forwarder models. It has become very popular since it considerably improves the operator ergonomics and the system is easy to maintain.

Several new model Logset 5F GT´s have already been delivered to Finland.

With a low, compact design, CL designates “compact loader.” The Seppi Miniforst CL mulcher is equipped with a standard SAE interface, and is suitable for any skid steer with available hydraulic flow between 50 and 150 l/min [13-40 gpm].

The Miniforst CL with new Cut Control rotor has been engineered to meet the demands of mulching contractors where a sharpenable blade is desired.

The goal was to manufacture a rotor using the existing Mini Blade and proven tool holder but with the addition of a gauge to reduce the depth of cut being made by the aggressive Mini Blades. The result is a rotor that maintains Seppi’s unprecedented recovery rate, improves efficiency and allows the operator to reach the ground if desired to mulch all material to ground level with ease.

The Miniforst CL is rated to mulch material up to 8” in diameter on carriers with up to 63 GPM. With its exposed rotor and fixed tools with Tungsten carbide inserts or Mini Blades, the Miniforst cl can mulch everything from standing timber to brush and slash on the ground. An optional hydraulic hood is available on machines equipped with Tungsten carbide inserts and allows the operator to control the direction of flying material, making this Miniforst CL one of the safest compact loader mulchers available. The powerful and reliable Seppi Miniforst cl was engineered using wear-resistant, high tensile steel to be lighter and stronger. All units are standard with multiple rows of counter cutters to provide a consistent, quality mulch. When paired with variable displacement motors with M-Boost technology, performance in compact loader mulchers is taken to a new level.

Ease of service is key! The Seppi Miniforst CL is designed so no tools are needed for daily service. All grease points are well protected and accessible without needing to remove any panels. And with US sourced components, there is minimal downtime in the event of a ruptured hose or belt. The Seppi Miniforst CL is the perfect combination of performance, durability and affordability.

Adaptability

The SAE interface makes mounting the Miniforst CL on your loader simple. And after mounting, it is simple to tune (we’ll show you how) to whatever loader you have. The Miniforst CL mulcher can operate efficiently on any loader with as little as 50 l/min (13 GPM) and up to 150 l/min (40 GPM).  Obviously, high flow is best but even the owner of a low flow loader will be happy with the performance of the Miniforst CL because regardless of GPM, the variable displacement M-Boost motor, which offers 40% more torque than standard motors, is easily adjusted to produce the RPM necessary for efficient mulching.  The Seppi Miniforst CL mulcher can mulch wood and brush to 20 cm (8”) diameter, at working speeds up to 5 km/h (3 MPH). Our patented rotor designs allow an unprecedented recovery rate of speed of the rotor, so you spend more time cutting and less time waiting.  The Miniforst CL will get the most from your loader!

Customisation

If your work is primarily mulching wood, use our proven, sharpenable Mini-Blade hammers with our revolutionary new Cut Control rotor with built in depth gauge. You won’t believe the speed with which you can produce a fine mulch! If your work is primarily land maintenance along roadways, fence lines, etc., choose our best-in-class tungsten carbide Mini-Duo hammers for durability. The patented Cut Control rotor works in concert with five rows of tempered counter cutters providing perfect mulching results. Whether you are working with Cut Controls or Carbide Hammers, our rotors maintain RPM for the highest productivity rate and a great mulch!

Durability

A strong frame, made of S-420 high tensile steel, heavy duty belt cover, well protected hydraulic cylinder and protection chains all assure a long working life.

Miniforst CL mulcher is suitable for most skid steer loader and compact track loaders from CAT, CASE, NEW HOLLAND, DEERE, BOBCAT, ASV, JCB, VOLVO.

Available working width: 150, 175, 200 [59″, 69″, 79″].
