Rootstock Head – Woodcracker R900

Engineering and Design: Professional-Grade Robustness. Built entirely from high-strength Hardox® steel, the Woodcracker R900 is engineered to withstand the most severe mechanical stresses in land recultivation and public works. Its low-wear design and reduced maintenance requirements ensure a long service life even in constant contact with abrasive materials. Westtech’s proven technology ensures that every component is protected, offering superior operational profitability in any type of forestry operation.    

Performance: Unrivaled Clearing Power. The R900 stands out for its impressive cutting force of up to 45 tons, processing even the most stubborn stumps thanks to its specially shaped blade. This device doesn’t just extract the material; it pre-clears and breaks it down directly on-site, drastically reducing transport volume and facilitating downstream processing in industrial chippers or grinders. Its “Plug-and-play” system allows for quick connection to standard hydraulic systems, optimizing commissioning times.

Land Preparation: Efficiency and Sustainability. Unlike other aggressive methods, the Woodcracker R900 performs a careful extraction, leaving the soil clean and ready for reforestation with minimal surface damage. This comprehensive land clearing is fundamental to the forest regeneration cycle, allowing new stands to grow optimally in soil free of root obstacles.

Fleet Compatibility

The Woodcracker R900 easily adapts to a wide range of professional carrier machines:

• Compatible Excavators: Recommended for vehicles with approximately 25 tons of operating weight.
• Required Hydraulic Flow: Between 100 and 190 l/min.
• Operating Pressure: Recommended between 240 and 280 bar.
• Installation: Compatible with all popular quick-hitch systems on the market.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)  
  
1. Can the R900 extract and clear at the same time? Yes, it is specifically designed to uproot the stump and crush it in the same operation, saving time and operational costs.

2. How does the R900 benefit wood transport? By pre-clearing and splitting on-site, the material volume is significantly reduced, allowing for more biomass to be loaded in every trip.

3. What impact does it have on soil quality? The gripper design allows for a smooth extraction that minimizes structural damage to the ground, leaving it prepared for the next planting cycle.

4. Is it difficult to install on my excavator? No, it features a “Plug-and-play” connection and is compatible with hitches and hydraulic systems from the most common excavator brands.

5. What level of maintenance is required? It is a low-maintenance attachment thanks to its robustness and the use of Hardox® steel, requiring only periodic hydraulic inspections and standard greasing.
