Malwa - Model 980 - Harvester

Mechanical transmission

Mechanical – or, rather, hydro-mechanical – transmission translates into smooth and responsive driving on all eight wheels. We are the only company to provide this feature in this size machines.

Steering angle of 45°

Centre section with its hydraulic cylinders provides 45° steering, which translates into a turning radius of just 5.8 metres. Which is extremely good.

Work hydraulics

Three independent pumps that can run at maximum output at the same time without restricting the capacity of each other. One for the transmission, one for the crane and one for the harvester head.

All pumps from Bosch Rexroth.

Harvester head

The Log Max 3000T is well-known and recognised as one of the best, most efficient and most reliable harvester heads on the market. A powerful, dual swing damper for exact positioning of the head. Weighs 615 kg, with a maximum cutting diameter of 52 cm. Colour marking and stump treatment is available as an option

Excellent work lighting

The 980 is fitted with 24 LED work lights and road lights front and rear.

Control system

We have chosen Parker IQAN, the leading communication system for electronics in mobile work machines. Our CAN bus solution features digital fuses, which provide major benefits.

Large diesel tank

Holds 240 litres. Provides an operating period of at least 24 hours.

Nice and warm when you arrive

An app-controlled diesel heater means that you can remotely activate heating of the engine, cab and hydraulic systems.

Dark? Turn on the lights remotely

You can turn on the front light – or all the lights – from a distance, making it easy to find your machine without getting lost.

Operations reports

Just like for the biggest machines, in every respect. For example, operation follow-up, map program, value bucking, reports, etc. Information about the harvester head and crane on a separate display. All fluid levels monitored.

980 directly to your smartphone

You can link your 980 directly to your smartphone and monitor the different values, levels, and pressures. All information can also be transferred via internet to your computer(s), to most service suppliers and to Malwa’s service technicians for analysis and diagnosis.

Fleet Management

Fleet Management is a smart, valuable supplement, especially for contractors who operate multiple machines in their business. It is a web-based system that provides real time information about where each and every machine is located, generates production data and details for every machine and operator in your fleet. All information can be accessed by smartphone, tablet or computer.

Service and daily supervision

Well-thought-out, easily accessible service points.

Daily supervision and checks of oil and fluid levels can be performed via the same hatch.

Central lubrication is an option.

Safety glass

The windows in the cab are made of a new type of glass with excellent optical properties. Tinted glass to reduce the effect of bright sunlight. The front and side windows are made of 2 x 8 mm laminated safety glass, which meets all requirements for chain shot protection in accordance with ISO 21876:2020.

Other

High-class audio system. Easy to enter, with flat floor and no threshold – easy to clean.

Protected storage space for harvester bars and chains, for example, as well as additional storage under the cab floor.
