New From Komatsu: 951XC-1 Harvester
Komatsu is launching a new model of its largest harvester, the 951XC-1, with eight driven wheels to drive traction, maneuverability and stability in steep, soft or otherwise rugged conditions. Inside the cab, operators experience automotive-level quality with refined controls and features built for all-day comfort and precision. The machine combines the strength of the Komatsu 951-1 with a compact design.
Key performance highlights include:
-
Tractive force of 54,400 lbf (242 kN)
- Komatsu’s 3PS hydraulic coordination system allows multiple head and crane functions to operate at full power simultaneously
-
Shortened crane center-to-front-wheel distance enables wider working range and stronger reach
-
Cab includes an automatic 4-way leveling system, spacious layout, climate controls and high-visibility design to reduce operator fatigue

Study Shows Site, Rotation Affects Carbon Sequestration Rate
Forest modeling research at Oregon State University’s College of Forestry shows a tract’s productivity is the top factor determining the rotation time that allows for the most above-ground carbon sequestration. Using OSU’s 11,000 acre McDonald-Dunn Research Forest as a study area, researchers inventoried more than 300 tracts known from past activities that varied widely in productivity levels. The data was run through modeling software that predicts changes in vegetation due to natural disturbances or management activities…
