Loglogic Softrak 120 Heather Harvesting for biomass to bio-energy conversion

Loglogic Softrak 120 Heather Harvesting Biomass Demonstration. Based on the original Softrak, which has proved invaluable in managing Fens, uplands and other delicate habitats over the last 10 years, the Softrak 120 with extended chassis and undercarriage and high-powered engine is designed to satisfy the needs of the contractor or reserve manager who needs to manage larger areas but still maintain the extremely low ground pressure and minimal damage to sensitive terrains of the original. Many of the options offered on the standard Softrak can also be fitted to the 120 variant. The use of high strength steels means that although the Softrak 120 is very light it is immensely strong as proven by the many thousands of hours accumulated by end users without material failures. The chassis, cab, undercarriage etc. are prepared by shot blasting, sprayed with molten zinc and then powder coated with a tough polyester paint to give an extremely durable finish. The Softrak 120 is fitted with the 3.6 litre 120hp Deutz TCD engine. This engine complies with the latest emission standards and is well known for it’s outstanding reliability and low fuel consumption. The cooling system is fitted with a large capacity aluminium radiator rated for temperatures up to 45c. The radiator and oil cooler is sited so as to minimize the intake of dust and debris generated when harvesting or mowing, but crucially does not take up any of the payload area. The extra large intake grills are designed so as to catch any particle over 2.5mm and the radiator fins are sized to allow particles up to 3mm to pass though without causing blockages. The reversible fan can be activated to instantly clean off any debris collecting on the intake grills.
