Vimek presents a brand-new harvester model, the Vimek 470. This new harvester is stronger, bigger, and more efficient than ever but still retains all the gentle Vimek characteristics.
The Vimek 470 is also built on the same NextGen platform as the Vimek 870 Forwarder and therefore has many common technical features.
Vimek believes that in stand thinning provides the best results for the driver and the best quality thinning. In stand operating thinning requires an agile and light harvester with good all-around visibility and high capacity, all these features are found in the Vimek 470.
Vimek’s Next Generation machines Vimek 470 and Vimek 870 are bigger and stronger than their predecessors but still gentler on the environment. The machines are designed specifically to work with thinning trees and causing minimal damage to the ground and remained trees. The engines are Stage V certified, can run on HVO fuel and have very low diesel consumption and thus low CO2 emissions. The weight of the machine is low and is distributed well on all wheels. The driver sits low for good visibility in the young forest and the cabin offers a good driver environment.
Vimek AB is the world leading manufacturer of light machines for forest thinning.
