Checking out the new equipment with PLMD’s 1994 ILH800 harvester in the background.
Residents, board members and friends inspected and test drove PLMD’s new 7ft ILH450 harvester from Inland Lake Harvesters during the 7/19/2022 commissioning ceremony.
The new machine features an customizable dual proportional joystick control, 7″ HMI Touch screen with digital instrumentation for fuel, rpm, hydraulic oil temp and pressure, engine oil, engine hours, operational hours, cutting hours, harvesting maps and more. The ergonomic seat rotates 180 degrees with the flip of a lever that simultaneously and automatically reverses the joystick with respect to the new operator position. Real time load balance instrumentation is incorporated for safety. The hydraulic wash down pump for cleaning debris can be operated via digital or manual controls. A central grease station has been installed to ensure no geese points are missed. The unit even features real time diagnostics data from the harvester live via a cellphone from anywhere in the world for service purposes.
