We would like to thank all visitors, customers and interested parties for a great KWF Conference 2024. The KWF Conference took place in Schwarzenborn (Hessen) from 19 to 22 June. It was a celebration for us.
The KWF Conference is THE highlight of the forestry industry in 2024. Besides the well-known forstARENA, Pfanzelt has created a unique presentation area for the KWF Conference 2024. The "Future Forest" project started in 2021 and is now located in the centre of the exhibition grounds.
We would like to thank the many visitors to our forstARENA demo show, the extensive consultations we were able to hold and the intensive exchange at the Future Forest project area.

Project “Future Forest” - near natural reforestation since 2021
How can reforestation be carried out in a near-natural way, but still with highly efficient use of machinery? We want to show how, and started reforesting a 1.5 hectare area exclusively with the Moritz in 2021 in the centre of the exhibition grounds of the KWF Conference 2024.
This has never been seen before at KWF
As early as 2021, we started a project for near-natural reforestation. At the KWF Conference 2021, reforestation would have been an important aspect of the machine concepts exhibited at Pfanzelt. In the same year we began near-natural reforestation on a project area in the centre of the exhibition area.
Most of the 1.5-hectare area fell victim to a storm and the bark beetle. Our Moritz mini felling tractor was used. It sowed and replanted the area in a near-natural way.
We are very pleased with the progress we have seen since then. At the KWF Conference 2024, important findings from the different approaches in the first few years were discussed.
Further highlights of the KWF Conference 2024
Pfanzelt forwarding trailers for forest farmers and forestry contractors
At the KWF Conference 2024, Pfanzelt presented a cross-section of the broad programme divided into three model series.
The new highlight for forest farmers is undoubtedly the S8 model of the Pfanzelt forwarding trailer. The S-line forwarding trailer S8 offers the successful combination of compact dimensions and a powerful forwarding trailer with up to 8 tons permitted max. weight on public roads.
For forestry contractors, Pfanzelt showcased further developments in the logLINE model series.
PM Trac: Versatile and powerful
The Pm Trac is the system tractor for landscape maintenance – quick and uncomplicated to drive, flexible and powerful during work assignments. The Pm Trac offers powerful engines and an advanced transmission.
The new 38 generation offers three models with engine outputs of up to 300 hp. The hydraulic system is powerful, and new software and touchscreen terminals make control easier. The variaDRIVE transmission, a proprietary development, offers innovative options. It supports the motto of the Pm Trac: Versatility and comfort.
The Pm Trac 38 is ideal for agriculture, forestry and landscape maintenance. Its cab is centrally located. The attachment bay is located above the rear axle. The Pfanzelt configuration system enables quick adaptation to different conditions.
Moritz, Plantomat and Max forestry tiller
A forest without natural rejuvenation needs the Moritz ... even before the calamity.
In 2016, the first Moritz was presented to the public at the KWF conference in Roding. Today, the Moritz is much more than just a felling aid. The Moritz mini felling tractor is the basis for near-natural and sustainable reforestation. The remote-controlled implement carrier impresses with its possibilities, from surface preparation to sowing and planting to surface care.
In addition to the current version of the Plantomat container planter, we also presented a new rotor for the MAX forestry tiller at the KWF Conference 2024.
Pfanzelt forstARENA live show – KWF Conference 2024
The large Pfanzelt forstARENA live show took place three times a day.
The 38th generation Pm Trac system tractor could be seen in action. It mastered the short timber transport with flying colours and demonstrated tree pruning using the Westtech CS510 felling gripper. We also demonstrated the forage harvester with the Eschlböck Biber. Not to be forgotten is the Moritz mini felling tractor. It impressed with a wide range of attachments such as a cable winch and Plantomat planter. We also presented the seeder and the Eschlböck Biber 2. A forwarding trailer with powerDRIVE drive rounded off the range.
