The requirements in forestry are constantly growing – and with them the expectations of the machines. If you want to work more efficiently, you not only need robust and reliable technology, but also enough power to handle demanding conditions in the forest with ease. This is precisely why STAGE 1 tuning is often considered.
What is STAGE 1 Tuning?
STAGE 1 Tuning stands for software-based optimization of the engine. This increases performance without jeopardizing the service life or safety of the machine. It is a precise adjustment of the engine maps that optimizes the fuel supply, boost pressure and other parameters so that the engine delivers more power – while maintaining the same fuel consumption or even increasing efficiency!
Mercedes OM936LA: From 286 hp to an impressive 345 hp
The heart of the Ponsse Ergo is the Mercedes OM936LA engine. This powerful six-cylinder engine is already renowned for its reliability and power ex works. The STAGE 1 tuning increases the output of this engine from 286 hp to an impressive 345 hp – that’s a 20% increase in power!
This additional 59 hp makes a huge difference, especially when it comes to moving large quantities of wood or navigating through difficult terrain. The machine can now do more with less effort – and that means more productivity per working day.
The advantages of STAGE 1 tuning for the Ponsse Ergo
More power: With 345 hp under the hood, the Ponsse Ergo can now work even more efficiently. Whether it’s steep slopes or heavy loads – the additional power brings a noticeable advantage.
Greater efficiency: Thanks to the optimized software, the engine not only consumes fuel more efficiently, but also works more smoothly. The result: more work per tank of fuel.
Increased productivity: The increased engine power enables faster and more powerful work. This means shorter working times with the same or even more wood – saving both time and money.
Sustainability and environmental protection: The improved efficiency can also reduce CO₂ emissions. Less consumption with more power means more sustainable use of the machine.
Why is tuning worthwhile?
Forestry is characterized by unpredictable challenges. With a performance-optimized engine, the Ponsse Ergo is ideally equipped to perform its tasks even under the toughest conditions. More power means more flexibility, and that can be crucial, especially in demanding terrain. In addition, the increase in efficiency not only speeds up the work process, but also minimizes wear on the machine.
STAGE 1 tuning for forestry machine champions
With STAGE 1 tuning, the Ponsse Ergo becomes an unbeatable workhorse in the forest. The significant power increase of the Mercedes OM936LA engine to 345 hp ensures greater efficiency and productivity – with the same or even lower fuel consumption. If you need more power in the forest, this upgrade is the right choice.
