Tree Shear – Woodcracker CB300

Engineering and Design: Large-Scale Hardox® Durability.  
True to the “engineering for the woods” philosophy, the Woodcracker CB300 features a modular and compact design that maximizes durability without adding unnecessary weight to the carrier machine. It is manufactured entirely from high-strength Hardox® steel. To withstand harsh environments, it features KTL (cathodic dip-priming) protection and powder coating, preventing premature corrosion in humid conditions.   

Accumulation and Performance: Massive Biomass Harvesting.
The standout feature of the CB300 is its synchronously closing accumulator arms (collector). This technology allows for the harvesting and retention of multiple trees and shrubs in a single pass, drastically optimizing work cycles and fuel consumption. The system is designed to operate with oil flows between 80 and 150 l/min, allowing for seamless integration with the hydraulics of mid-sized excavators.

Cutting Quality: Technical Excellence and Forest Regeneration.
The CB300 incorporates a cutting mechanism with a high-strength, easily replaceable blade. By being strategically positioned between the accumulator arms, it ensures superior cut quality and a clean surface on the stem. This technical finish is fundamental to promoting healthy plant regrowth after the harvest, ensuring the long-term sustainability of the forest stand.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)  

1. Can I use the Woodcracker CB300 for hazardous tree felling? It is not recommended. The CB series is designed for small timber and biomass; for hazardous felling (safety tree felling) where a guaranteed safety grip is required, we recommend the Woodcracker C or CS series.

2. How does the accumulator system improve productivity? The accumulator arms allow the operator to cut and hold multiple stems before releasing them. This reduces the excavator’s movements, organizes the biomass material more efficiently, and saves time during every pass.

3. What advantage does the replaceable blade offer? The blade is made of high-strength steel with low wear. Being replaceable, it facilitates preventive maintenance and ensures the head always operates at peak efficiency, promoting subsequent plant regrowth.

4. Is it suitable for working on difficult terrain? Absolutely. Its robustness makes it ideal for working on slopes, marshy ground, or flood-prone areas, ensuring reliable performance regardless of the terrain.

5. What mounting options are available for this model? The CB300 offers several mounting options to adapt to standard excavators, loaders, or even forestry cranes, allowing for great operational versatility.
