Clearing Rake – Woodcracker G850

Engineering and Design: Extreme Durability for Professional Land Clearing. True to the “engineering for the woods” philosophy, the Woodcracker G850 is manufactured from high-strength Hardox® steel, ensuring exceptional durability against mechanical wear and impacts. To withstand harsh and humid environments, the entire structure undergoes a KTL (cathodic dip-priming) treatment and powder coating, offering industrial-grade corrosion protection. Its ergonomic shape has been optimized to penetrate the ground and collect material with minimal effort from the base machine.  

Performance and Handling: Intelligent Gripping Technology. The standout feature of the G850 is its toggle lever system, which generates an exceptionally wide range of motion, allowing for the handling of massive volumes of material in every cycle. The gripper fingers feature a special control system that allows them to adapt individually to the collected material, ensuring a firm hold on everything from fine branches to roots and stumps. This system maximizes efficiency in biomass loading and land clearing for construction or reforestation.

Finish and Versatility: Total Forest Floor Cleaning. For professionals requiring an impeccable finish, the G850 offers exceptional modularity. It can be optionally equipped with a “fine rake” (fine-mesh rake), ideal for thorough and extensive soil cleaning after timber extraction, removing small debris and stones. Additionally, the attachment can be used exclusively as a clearing rake or as a powerful material handling grapple, adapting to the specific needs of each job site.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What kind of maintenance does the Woodcracker G850 require? The equipment is designed for low maintenance and low wear. Thanks to the Hardox® steel and the robustness of its components, technical downtime is minimal, focusing mainly on standard periodic grease point checks.

2. How do the fingers adapt to different-sized materials? The gripper fingers feature a special control system that allows them to close individually based on the resistance they encounter. This enables a firm hold on everything from fine brushwood to irregular root stumps in a single operation.

3. Can I use the rake without the gripper function? Yes, the Woodcracker G850 is also available in versions without gripper fingers if only the raking and ground clearing function is required.

4. Is it possible to clear very small debris with this equipment? For deep and extensive forest floor cleaning, we recommend installing the optional fine rake attachment, which easily couples to the main body of the Woodcracker G. 

5. What advantages does the toggle lever system offer? This mechanism allows the rake to have a much wider range of motion than conventional systems, which facilitates grabbing large amounts of biomass and significantly improves visibility from the cabin.
