Its short, compact design offers exceptional maneuverability between standing timber, making it perfect for first and second thinnings. Furthermore, its geometry facilitates direct loading onto forwarders or the creation of clean piles, optimizing logistics right from the first cut.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\"><br \/>Feeding and Performance: <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">Speed in small timber Equipped with a 2-motor, 2-roller drive system, this head ensures a firm grip and a feed speed of up to 5.5 m\/s. This configuration is ideal for rapidly processing small to medium-diameter softwoods and hardwoods (optimal range 5-30 cm). It can optionally be equipped with an accumulating handling arm cassette, transforming it into a lethal tool for efficient biomass and energy wood harvesting.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\"><br \/>Log Quality and Delimbing:<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"> High-quality delimbing is guaranteed by 5 movable knives (one floating front knife, two upper, and two lower knives) that perfectly embrace the stem. Thanks to precise diameter and length measurement (compatible with the most common control systems), the AFM 35 maximizes the value of every log, even on heavy-branched trees or irregular stems. Its 580 mm knife opening capacity allows it to handle butts thicker than usual for its class.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\">Fleet Compatibility. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">This head is designed to maximize your investment in compact base machinery.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: Poppins, Arial\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">Excavators: 8 \u2013 14 tons.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: Poppins, Arial\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">Wheeled Harvesters: 8 \u2013 16 tons.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: Poppins, Arial\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">Combi Machines: Adaptable for harvester-forwarder combinations.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: Poppins, Arial\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">Hydraulic Requirements: Minimum flow of 120-200 l\/min and optimal pressure to unleash its power (min. 60 kW engine).<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\">&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: Poppins, Arial\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\">Do you have a specific base machine model or need to adapt this equipment to your requirements?<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"> Contact us for personalized technical advice.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>&#8212;-<br \/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Poppins, Arial\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.3333px\"><b>FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)&nbsp;<\/b><\/span><\/font><span style=\"font-size: 14px\"><b><br \/><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px\"><b>1. What type of work is the AFM 35 ideal for?<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\"> <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">It is the king of thinning operations and biomass harvesting. Its design shines in dense plantations where maneuvering without damaging standing trees is crucial, making it perfect for young pine or medium-diameter eucalyptus stands.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\"><br \/>2. Can I install it on a 10-ton excavator?<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"> Yes, that is the perfect range. The AFM 35 is optimized for excavators from 8 to 14 tons. We just need to verify that your hydraulic pump delivers the necessary flow (minimum 120 l\/min) for fluid operation.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\"><br \/>3. Is it suitable for energy wood or biomass?<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"> Absolutely. The head can be equipped with multi-stemming accumulating arms, allowing you to cut and hold several small stems at once before processing, multiplying productivity in coppice or dense stands.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\"><br \/>4. What maintenance does this head require?<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"> Like the entire AFM range, it is designed with a &#8220;forest-proof&#8221; engineering philosophy. Grease points are accessible, and hoses are protected yet easy to replace. Chain tensioning is automatic, reducing daily downtime.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\"><br \/>5. Is it compatible with modern measuring systems?<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"> Yes, the AFM 35 can integrate with the most common measuring and control systems on the market (such as Motomit, Technion, etc.), allowing for volume control and production data transfer.<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: Poppins, Arial\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\">Compact power for thinning and biomass operations<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">The AFM 35 is a powerful and versatile harvesting head, engineered specifically for thinning operations and energy wood harvesting. With an operating weight of just 720 kg, it delivers a remarkable feeding force of 18 kN, making it the ideal tool for small excavators (8-14 tons) and light wheeled harvesters. It ensures profitability in dense forest stands without compromising agility or maneuverability.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":84064,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_joinchat":[]},"product_brand":[490],"product_cat":[739],"product_tag":[],"translation_priority":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-3185","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_brand-afm-en","7":"product_cat-paper-energy-board-production","8":"pa_marca-afm","9":"pa_tipo-harvesting-heads","11":"first","12":"instock","13":"taxable","14":"shipping-taxable","15":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/3185","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/84064"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3185"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=3185"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=3185"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=3185"},{"taxonomy":"translation_priority","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/translation_priority?post=3185"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
