Kranman 660 forwarder

Kranman 660 – The next generation of class-leading mini forwarders is here After 12 years of production and over 800 forwarders delivered, it is time for the next generation of Kranman forwarders. Based on our customers’ wishes, we have further developed this competent forwarder to become even better. The Kranman 660 replaces the Bison 8000. It is available in three different designs: Comfort, Pro and Pro+. All trim levels of the Kranman 660 have a cab with waterborne heating and are combi prepared for installation of the Jobo ST35 harvester head. The diesel engine is Kubota’s well-proven 902D. It is a three-cylinder engine with 25 hp. The stainless steel exhaust system is integrated under the hood which makes it well protected. The machine has stepless drive via hydrostat. The driving force has increased by a whopping 30%. This is due to the new powertrain that has a lower gear ratio and more powerful hydrostats. The chassis is completely newly developed and is both torsionally stiffer and more powerful. The rear carriage is longer and the bogie has been moved backwards to allow for longer timber length. The load-bearing structure in the rear is made of the high-strength steel Domex 650, which means that the load capacity has been increased to 2200 kg. To reduce vibrations and noise levels, the newly developed cab is rubber-suspended. The chassis design allows the Kranman 660 to have a flat cab floor. This makes it easy to enter the cab and there is plenty of room for your legs. The large curved window provides a very good view when loading and driving backwards. The Pro and Pro+ trim levels have double-arm wipers both front and rear. Storage space is one thing that has been prioritized in the development work. In the cab, we have placed a compartment under the seat, a compartment in the dashboard with USB sockets, compartments on both screens, compartments for mobile phones, cup holders, as well as a hook for a jacket and a hook for a chopper’s helmet. On the outside, we have placed large compartments on both sides of the motor for storing tools, for example. On the hood there is a chainsaw holder and on the gate a combi can holder. In the Pro+ version, there is also a storage basket on the gate. The waterborne heat provides an even and good heat in winter. For good ventilation in the summer, we have developed smart ventilation locks in flexible rubber that are mounted on both doors. To further increase serviceability, we have placed service hatches at all important service points. There are hatches under the engine, under the front axle, on the front side, in the cab floor and on the top of the rear car. Kranman 660 has very good lighting. The Pro and Pro+ also have cross-lighting through lamps that are protected in the shades. This increases the light pattern and reduces shadow formation. The hydrostatic drivetrain causes the machine to stop and stand still when you release the drive pedal. When loading or parking on an incline, however, you need a brake to stand completely still. Therefore, the Kranman 660 is equipped with a hydraulic handbrake that is automatically activated when the machine is put in neutral. The Pro and Pro+ are also equipped with outrigger warning with automatic braking. To facilitate cold starts, the Pro is equipped with an electric 230v engine heater. The Pro+ is equipped with a diesel heater that is either controlled via timer or SMS. Fuel consumption is 1.7 liters per hour, which gives just over 14 driving hours with the new larger tank of 24 liters. In Comfort version, the Kranman 660 is delivered with our newly developed KX30 crane. On the Pro and Pro+ is the professional crane M36.
