Forestry Cutter Attachment

Turn trees and underbrush from unsightly overgrowth to mulch with the forestry cutter attachment. Punch into large-diameter trees and bring the uppermost limbs quickly to the ground. The forestry cutter�s tube-style drum and spiral tooth pattern allow one tooth to engage at a time, so operation is smooth and less horsepower is required to do the job.

The compact size of the forestry cutter allows for any type of removal job, whether clearing every tree in an area or selectively thinning stands. Simply lower the forestry cutter onto the tree and its fast-cutting teeth rips it to shreds, turning it into a bed of mulch that slows growth and provides organic material. Applications for the forestry cutter include clearing trees and brush for pre/post disaster mitigation, utility line and road right-of-way maintenance, site preparation, orchard and vineyard maintenance. Other applications include cutting firebreaks, cleaning lots, and maintaining property.

How Does It Work?

Lower the forestry cutter onto the tree and its fast-cutting teeth rips it to shreds by repeatedly hitting it from the side. Tilt the forestry cutter slightly forward to throw material against counter combs that reduce particles to mulch. Lowering the optional front gate will help retain material when finer mulching is necessary. If required, the forestry cutter has the ability to till the mulch right into the soil.

Forestry Cutter Features:

Compact Size: Accommodates any tree removal job, from clearing every tree in an area to selective thinning.
Counter Combs: Provide the ability to do fine mulching, and provide wear protection for the rear of the housing.
Double-Tipped Carbide Teeth: Efficiently rip through hard and soft woods, providing long life and uptime protection for the attachment.
Drum Brake: Stops from full speed in 10 seconds or less when the forestry cutter�s hydraulics are deactivated.
Front Gate (optional): Reduces front discharge of material, and promotes longer processing into finer mulch.
Low Number of Teeth: Provides fast knockdown of trees and low-cost replacement.
Pressure Gauge: Visible from the seat to help the operator run the attachment at peak efficiency.
Safety Chains: Reduce debris thrown to the rear.
Spiral Tooth Pattern: Allows one tooth to engage at a time for smoother operation and less horsepower demand.
Standard Adjustable Push Bar: Has three positions to accommodate the operator�s preferred setting.

Required Forestry Door and Applications Kit

Protect Your Operator, Protect Your Machine

Designed to protect you and your investment, in the toughest conditions, the forestry applications kit must be installed on the loader in order to operate the forestry cutter attachment. The exclusive forestry door protects you from flying debris and objects. Other benefits include ISO 3449 Level II Falling Object Protective Structure (FOPS) and debris guards for muffler, lights and hydraulic components.

Forestry Applications Kit includes:

Fire Extinguisher: Mounted in the cab for quick access in an emergency.
Forestry Door: (3/4 in. laminated polycarbonate) The forestry cutter attachment will not operate without the door installed. Emergency exit allows removal of front door, if necessary.
Front and Rear Light Guards: (1/4 in. polycarbonate) Ensures branches and debris won't break lights.
Hydraulic Quick Coupler Guard: The guard, along with no exposed fittings on the hoses, helps protect the couplers, hoses and wire harness from falling trees and branches.
Level II FOPS: (meets ISO 3449) Protects operator and cab from falling trees and objects.
Lift Cylinder Debris Shields: Protects lift cylinders and reduces material buildup in the engine compartment.
Muffler Guard: Protects tailpipe from damage and reduces material buildup in the engine compartment.
Top and Rear Windows: (1/4 in. or 1/2 in. polycarbonate) Protects operator and maximizes visibility.
