Tree Shear – Woodcracker CB150

Engineering and Design: Lightweight with Hardox® DNA  
The CB series embodies the concept of “compact modular design” applied to light forest management. Manufactured from high-strength Hardox® steel, the CB150 ensures superior durability with minimal dead weight, preventing the overloading of small base machines. Like its larger counterparts, it features a KTL (cathodic dip-priming) treatment followed by powder coating, offering exceptional corrosion resistance in humid environments.    

Performance: Simultaneous Biomass Harvesting
Unlike heavy-duty shears, the CB150 is equipped with synchronously closing accumulator arms (collector) that allow for the harvesting of several shrubs or young trees in a single pass. This system drastically optimizes cycle times in short-rotation plantations and brush clearing. Its cutting mechanism is designed for low wear and low maintenance, operating efficiently with reduced oil flows (40-80 l/min), making it ideal for mini-excavators.

Cutting Quality: Engineered for Forest Regeneration
The CB150’s cutting system utilizes a replaceable high-strength blade, strategically positioned between the accumulator arms to ensure superior cut quality. This layout produces a clean cut surface that promotes healthy regrowth, a critical feature for sustainable forest management and regeneration thinning.

Fleet Compatibility

This attachment is designed to enhance the utility of compact carrier units.

• Excavators: Ideal for mini-excavators and carrier machines from 4.5 to 9 tons.
• Other options: Due to its versatile design, it can be mounted on farm loaders, forestry cranes (CB150 crane version), and light telehandlers.
• Hydraulic Requirements: Requires a standard hydraulic line at 260 bar.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

1. Is the Woodcracker CB150 suitable for felling large trees? No. The CB series is specifically designed for light material, shrubs, and small trees. For hazardous or large-diameter tree felling, we recommend the Woodcracker C or CS series.

2. How does the accumulator system benefit my daily operations? It allows you to collect multiple stems in a single cycle without having to release each one after the cut. This saves operating time, reduces fuel consumption, and better organizes the placement of energy wood.

3. Can I install it on a forestry crane? Yes, there is a CB150 crane variant specifically designed for coupling onto forestry cranes, increasing the versatility of your tractor or forwarder fleet.

4. What maintenance does the blade require? The blade is made of high-strength steel and is replaceable. Thanks to its special cutting system, wear is minimal, and it allows for simple resharpening to maintain the cut quality that favors plant regrowth.

5. What does KTL protection mean? It is an industrial-grade cathodic dip-priming that, combined with the powder coating, protects the steel against corrosion. This is vital for equipment working in high humidity and constant rainfall.
