Tree Shear – Woodcracker C650

Engineering and Design: Extreme Robustness in Hardox®
Built with high-strength Hardox® steel, the Woodcracker C650 represents “engineering for the woods” at its peak. The entire structure features a KTL (cathodic dip-priming) treatment and powder coating, guaranteeing superior corrosion protection in humid and harsh climates. Its design includes a reinforced main bolt with a special safety nut to withstand the massive torsional forces involved in heavy-duty felling.

Cutting and Performance: Controlled Raw Power
The C650 stands out for its ability to process diameters up to 700 mm in softwood and 650 mm in hardwood. It comes standard with the Multigrip controller, an intelligent hydraulic system that ensures a firm hold before the cut begins: during the process, the gripper closes first, and when depositing, the blade opens before the gripper to maintain constant control of the log. Furthermore, its cylinders feature end-position damping to reduce mechanical wear.

Cutting Quality and Versatility: Patented Technology
The cutting system utilizes a high-strength, replaceable, and easy-to-sharpen blade with a patented fastening system that minimizes maintenance downtime. To ensure continuous operation without clogs, it includes an automatic cleaning comb for the blade. Thanks to its “Plug & Play” design, it requires only 5 hydraulic connections to manage all functions, including high-power rotation options.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)  

1. What is the maximum diameter the Woodcracker C650 can cut? This model is the most powerful in the series, capable of cutting up to 700 mm in softwood and 650 mm in hardwood.  

2. What is the purpose of the standard Multigrip system? It is a hydraulic controller that ensures safety: during the cut, the gripper secures the tree before the blade engages, allowing for the vertical removal of trees without risk.   

3. What rotation options are available for my excavator? The C650 can be equipped with a cylinder-driven swivel unit (2 x 48°), a continuous 360° Tiltator, or the Power-Tiltator, which provides double the torque for handling exceptionally heavy logs.

4. Is maintenance for the cutting unit difficult? No, the technology is designed for low wear. The blade is made of high-strength steel and features a patented system that allows for easy replacement or resharpening directly at the job site.

5. Is it suitable for difficult terrain or riverbanks? Absolutely. It is ideal for work on rugged terrain, riverbanks, and marshy areas where a high-reach machine with safe, high-capacity cutting power is required.
