SP 591 LX G3 - high speed debarking for xtreme jobs
The SP 591 LX G3 is purpose built for harvesting and debarking of the most difficult species of plantation grown eucalyptus and acacia. It is an extremely strong and tough harvester head, designed according to the LX principle for maximum reliability and productivity even under the toughest conditions.
The uncompromised LX design is to be found all throughout the harvester head, from large components like frame and knives down to pins and seals. In spite of its brute and tough appearance the SP 591 LX G3 does not just offer strength and reliability, smart solutions like proportional pressures in combination with an unprecedented debarking efficiency and a great handling of crooked trees also make the SP 591 LX G3 an extremely fast, productive and fuel efficient harvester head – the SP 591 LX G3 truly offers high speed debarking for xtreme jobs.
The SP 591 LX G3 is optimized for best productivity and performance handling tree sizes from 10 to 38 cm (4-15”) and is equally productive debarking at the stump as it is processing and debarking decked wood out of a pile.

LX – because extreme jobs allow no compromise
LX stands for Logging Xtreme. The harvester heads in the LX series are designed to cope with the most extreme conditions. Thanks to a number of smart design solutions, the LX harvester heads offer a maximum productivity, performance and uptime together with a minimum need for service and maintenance.
The harvester heads are extremely strong and hard-wearing, but thanks to proportional pressure, SP’s patented LogHold and SP’s computer software, they are also fast, efficient and easy to work with.
1. The frame is made of special high-strength steel and has a robust design. Together with the unique 3-piece bolt-on design, this makes the frame extremely strong and torsionally rigid. The frame is machined after welding to ensure a perfect fit.
2. The two wrap-around knives are cast in high-strength steel and are extremely robust. They are equipped with replaceable knife inserts to make maintenance simple and cost-effective.
3. The components are strategically placed for optimum protection. In order to minimise internal wear and vibrations, the harvester heads are equipped with damping on exposed cylinders as well as on moving parts. This ensures maximum component service life as well as reducing the risk of operational stoppages.
4. The cylinder pivot pins are both hardened and chromium-plated. In combination with the large pivot pin diameter, this ensures high operational reliability and little need for maintenance. The pivot pins for tilt frame, knives and roller arms are all expander pins. The pivot pins are completely sealed off against sand and dirt, ensuring maximum service life and minimal maintenance requirements.

Complete control systems
SPd5Bucking
SPd5Bucking is a complete measurement and control system for control of the felling process in a forest harvester in accordance with StanForD. This is our most advanced system and has support for value bucking. The system is also fully integrated with dasa5 control and communication system. All communication with the operator is via dxPc, which is a mobile PC with Windows 10 operating system, and stores all information, e.g. statistics or instructions. The dxPc computer has a touchscreen, which facilitates the work for the operator considerably.
SPd5BuckingPrio
SPd5BuckingPrio is our intermediate system. The system has support for priority bucking and is equipped with a PC. SPd5BuckingPrio is a slightly impler bucking system combined with the power of a PC for reporting, communication and other programs. Bucking is based on priority lengths with or without diameter classes. SPd5BuckingPrio is ideal when value bucking and reporting is not required according to StanForD at the same time as needing a PC for reporting, communication and other PC-programs. All communication to the operator occurs via dxPc.
SPd5BuckingPrio-C
SPd5BuckingPrio-C is a bucking system that focuses on simplicity without compromising on head control, performance or productivity. SPd5BuckingPrio-C has support for priority bucking with or without diameter classes and has been specially developed for felling where there is no need for wireless production reporting or the use of PC programs. SPd5Bucking Prio-C runs the Windows CE operating system.
SPd5 cab box
Regardless of which system you choose above, you can get it with our SPd5 cab box. The cab box allows SPd5 cab modules do be installed quickly, efficiently and at the highest quality. The cab box is factory-fitted at SP and delivered completely finished and tested together with the head, which ensures a correct connection and trouble-free commissioning. Thanks to the electronics modules being mounted in a protected environment inside the box, problems caused by external damage such as moisture, dust, dirt and impact are minimized.
