Design

Finnish Engineering focused on high quality materials, and well tested geometry makes for a strong and compact harvester. In the third generation of Kesla engineering, it features a rear single knife to support the larger logs and take care of the lower heavy limbs. Easy to service, tune and set up, this harvester is a must for the 13 ton to 16 ton base machines looking to log on a professional scale with excellent production results. Perfectly suited to also handle Eucalyptus as well.

Power

A very efficient hydraulic valve in combination with the Cypress Measuring system makes this harvester ultra responsive to the operator's commands. Many upgrades performed to this generation of harvester to maximize the output to the feed motors.

Cypress Robotics Gen6 Control & Measuring System

Every KESLA harvester package supplied by Axis Forestry is powered by the Cypress Robotics Gen6 control and measuring system—an advanced Canadian-built platform designed to maximize productivity, simplify operation, and increase machine versatility. Beyond delivering accurate measuring, intuitive controls, and powerful diagnostics, Cypress allows contractors to operate multiple attachments from a single familiar interface. Whether running a harvester head, grapple, bucket, rake, mulcher, processor, or other hydraulic attachment, operators can quickly switch between tools without learning a new control system or reconfiguring the machine.

For contractors looking to maximize equipment utilization, Cypress provides a significant advantage. A single carrier can be transformed from a harvester into a site preparation, mulching, road building, or material handling machine while maintaining the same controls, display, and operating experience. Combined with remote support, software updates, machine diagnostics, and direct support from Axis Forestry, the Cypress Gen6 platform helps reduce downtime, shorten training time, and keep crews productive across a wide range of forestry and land management applications.

The Cypress Robotics Gen6 system does more than measure logs—it gives contractors the flexibility to control a wide range of forestry and land management attachments from a single platform. From harvester heads and grapples to buckets, rakes, mulchers, and processors, operators can quickly switch between tasks without learning a new control system. The result is greater machine utilization, simplified training, reduced downtime, and more value from every piece of equipment in your fleet.
