Its geometry features an impressive rear knife opening of 850 mm, which greatly facilitates picking up logs from the ground or handling multiple stems at once during processing. This head provides significant extra stability to the base machine.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\"><br \/>Feeding and Performance:<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"> Maximum Torque While other models prioritize pure speed, the AFM 65 prioritizes unstoppable force. Its system of 4 motors and 3 rollers generates 35 kN of feeding force. This ensures the tree advances regardless of weight, heavy limbing, or bark density. With a speed of 5.5 m\/s, it maintains a consistent industrial production rhythm in clearcutting (final felling) operations.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\"><br \/>Debarking Specialist and Quality: <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">This model is a benchmark for large-scale eucalyptus debarking. Its knife configuration (adjustable between 2 and 4 units) allows for adaptation to bark hardness, effectively stripping it without damaging the valuable timber. Furthermore, its impressive 860 mm cutting diameter eliminates the need for manual chainsaw operators, even for the thickest specimens in the stand.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\"><br \/>Fleet Compatibility.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"> The AFM 65 requires base machines with high hydraulic capacity and stability:<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: Poppins, Arial\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: Poppins, Arial\"><u>Excavators<\/u>: 20 \u2013 25 Tons (Optimal configuration to leverage the head&#8217;s weight).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><u>Wheeled Harvesters<\/u>: Large class (Big wheel-based harvesters).&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><u>Tracked Harvesters<\/u>: Fully compatible.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><u>Hydraulic Requirements<\/u>: Minimum flow of 300 l\/min and 90 kW engine power to feed its powerful motors.<\/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\"><br \/>Do you have a specific model or need to adapt this machine to your needs? <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">Contact us for personalized advice.<br \/>&#8212;<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><b>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/b><br \/><b><br \/><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><b>1. How does the AFM 65 differ from the AFM 60?<\/b><\/span> <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">The AFM 65 is significantly more powerful and heavier. Weighing 1960 kg versus the AFM 60&#8217;s 1500 kg, it offers 35 kN of force compared to 25 kN. The AFM 65 is engineered for thicker, heavier timber where traction is more critical than top speed.<\/span><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\"><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">2. Can it debark Eucalyptus? <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">Yes, this is one of its certified operations. Thanks to its massive 35 kN force, it is capable of debarking large-diameter eucalyptus that would stall smaller heads.<\/span><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\"><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">3. What excavator size is recommended? <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">Due to its weight of nearly 2 tons, we recommend excavators in the 20 to 25-ton class. Mounting it on lighter machines could compromise stability at maximum boom extension.<\/span><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\"><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">4. Is it suitable for thinning?<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"> While it can perform late thinnings, its primary vocation is final felling (clearcutting). Its physical size may make maneuvering difficult in very dense, small-diameter forests; for those tasks, the AFM 45 or 55 are better options.<\/span><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\"><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">5. What is the advantage of the 850 mm opening?<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"> The rear knives open extremely wide (85 cm). This acts almost like a forestry grapple, allowing the operator to easily grip bundles of cut logs for processing or loading.<\/span><\/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\">Brute force for large timber and Eucalyptus<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">The AFM 65 is a colossus designed for final felling and processing large-diameter trees. With a robust operating weight of 1960 kg and a feeding force of 35 kN, this harvesting head offers the torque necessary to move heavy stems that other models cannot handle. It is the ultimate tool for 20-25 ton excavators, combining an 860 mm cutting capacity with a high-performance eucalyptus debarking system.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":78579,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_joinchat":[]},"product_brand":[490],"product_cat":[57],"product_tag":[],"translation_priority":[],"class_list":["post-4206","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_brand-afm-en","product_cat-machine","pa_marca-afm","pa_tipo-harvesting-heads","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","product-type-simple"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/4206","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\/78579"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4206"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=4206"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=4206"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=4206"},{"taxonomy":"translation_priority","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forestpioneer.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/translation_priority?post=4206"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
