Woodcracker® C – The efficient cutting head for harvesting trees and bushes.

KEY FACTS• Proper and simple connection at the headstock.

• Attachable to standard excavators, only four hydraulic connections needed (including all options).

• Replaceable, high-strength blade, easy to sharpen.

• KTL-primed (cathodic dip-coating) and powder coating. Made of high-strength Hardox® steel.

• Low-wear and low-service, robust and long-lasting.

• Additional occupancy of the carrier vehicle.

APPLICATION AREAS• Conventional harvest of trees and bushes.

• Harvest of short rotation plantations.

• In rough terrain, hill areas and bog areas.

• Maintenance along traffic roads and routes.

• Large-scale harvest of forest areas.

Woodcracker® CL – The swift and light-weighted cutting head for agricultural use.6

APPLICATION AREAS• Fast harvest of small trees and bushes.

• Harvest of short rotation plantations.

• In rough terrain, hill areas and in bog areas.

• Cultivation and landscape maintenance.

• For agricultural use on a farm loader.

• Easy infrastructure maintenance.

KEY FACTS• Various mounting options (eg. excavator, farm loader).

• Due to low net weight, the Woodcracker® CL is mountable to farm loaders.

• The cutting system uses a replaceable and high-strength blade. It is easy to sharpen, resistant and impervious to dirt.

• Proper and simple connection at the headstock with ideal mounting angle.

• KTL-primed (cathodic dip-coating) and powder coating. Made of high-strength Hardox® steel.

• Low-wear and low-service, robust and long-lasting.

Caution: Woodcracker® CL is not suitable for dangerous tree felling. Secure hold of cut material can not be guaranteed.In this case we recommend our Woodcracker® C/CS series.
