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.
