Rootstock Head – Woodcracker R1300

Engineering and Design: Extreme Durability in Hardox® The Woodcracker R1300 represents heavy-duty engineering built for the woods. Manufactured entirely from high-strength Hardox® steel, its chassis is designed to withstand the most severe torsional and tensile forces during deep root extraction. Thanks to its low-wear technology and reduced maintenance requirements, the R1300 ensures consistent profitability and an extended service life, even during intensive land clearing operations.    

Performance and Clearing: Raw Power for Biomass Equipped with a specially shaped blade, the R1300 is capable of cutting through the most stubborn root material with a force of up to 65 tons. This device not only extracts the stump but also enables immediate pre-clearing and splitting, which drastically reduces transport volume and prepares the material for final processing in industrial grinders or chippers. It is the key tool for transforming forestry waste into an additional revenue stream through biomass mobilization.

Soil Care and Recultivation: Sustainable Efficiency Despite its massive power, the R1300 stands out for its careful extraction that minimizes damage to the soil structure. By removing the stump entirely, it leaves the ground clean and aerated, facilitating the optimal regrowth of new plant inventory. Its optimized “blade” design allows for precision work, protecting the integrity of the forest environment.

Fleet Compatibility

The Woodcracker R1300 has been developed for seamless integration into heavy machinery fleets:

• Compatible Excavators: Recommended for base vehicles of approximately 30 tons.
• Required Hydraulic Flow: Between 120 and 250 l/min.
• Operating Pressure: Recommended between 250 and 310 bar.
• Connection: Plug-and-play system compatible with the most popular quick-hitch systems on the market.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)  

1. What is the main difference between the R900 and the R1300? The R1300 offers a larger opening (1,300 mm vs. 956 mm) and superior cutting force (65t vs. 45t), making it ideal for massive stumps and heavier carrier machines.

2. How does this equipment help generate more income? It enables the mobilization of additional biomass. By extracting and pre-clearing stumps, the material becomes a marketable product for power plants or industrial processes.  

3. What maintenance does a device of this type require? Thanks to the use of Hardox® steel and its robust design, it is a low-maintenance attachment. It only requires periodic checks of the grease points and the condition of the cutting unit.

4. Is it suitable for large-scale land reclamation? Absolutely. It is specifically designed for extensive recultivation projects, leaving the soil clean so that vegetation can regenerate rapidly.

5. Can it be mounted on any 30-ton excavator? Yes, it is compatible with all popular carrier vehicles thanks to its simple connection system and standard hydraulic requirements for that weight range.
