Taking Harvesters to a New Level

Innovation designed for you. Our latest operator-assistance feature, Intelligent Boom Control (IBC) brings a new level of precision and efficiency to the woods.

With IBC, operators no longer need to control each independent boom joint separately. One joystick moves the boom tip horizontally, while a second guides it vertically, allowing for consistent and smooth operation.

The result: a machine that’s more productive and easier to use. With smooth, precise control of attachment positioning.

IBC raises the bar for loggers of all levels, enhancing control for experienced operators and offering easy-to-learn functionality for new ones.

Innovation never felt so easy. Unlock your potential with Intelligent Boom Control.
