FARMA Accumulating felling head

NEW!

With 20 years on the market and more than 10,000 lumber trailers sold, FARMA has now developed an accumulating felling head.
The felling head is simple to install, and replaces the grapple loader's regular grapple tool. The felling head means that felling, gathering, cutting and loading everything from trees and brush to bushes and stumps can be performed simply and cost-effectively. The FARMA Felling head is a combined grapple and felling head that is often used for clearing energy wood.

The centre of gravity is located behind the machine, which ensures good collection characteristics. Trees are easily cut using the powerful guillotine. The work is efficient, as there is no need for unnecessary intermediate cuts. Loading is also performed with the felling head, where three separate claws provide good grip on the trees.
All movements are performed with the crane's own grapple valve (open/close). The felling head's control unit is used to select the desired function: tilt, cutting or accumulation.

Production of the accumulating felling head will commence at the earliest in January 2012. Design and development of prototype will take place.
