The C-Series models allow for better leverage when handling tall timber thanks to an elongated tower, ensuring superior stability. The structure benefits from contoured cast steel arms, which are stronger and more durable, designed to offer maximum support during accumulation and withstand daily impacts in the forest.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\">Accumulation &amp; Performance:<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">High-Speed Bunching Speed is the key to this model. Equipped with linked arm geometry, the 18C allows for faster stem accumulation. Its cutting system is powered by a high-reliability disc drive, reaching a rated speed of 1,350 rpm for clean and fast cuts in every cycle. Additionally, the disc is guided by easily adjustable bearings, simplifying field maintenance and extending equipment life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\">Felling Quality &amp; Versatility<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">With a maximum throat opening of 762 mm and an accumulation area of 0.28 m\u00b2, this head is ideal for thinnings and final felling of medium diameters. It can be configured with one-piece or segmented discs, adapting perfectly to terrain abrasiveness and the type of wood encountered.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\">Fleet Compatibility<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">This head is designed for carriers requiring an optimal balance between accumulation capacity and contained weight.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: Poppins, Arial\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">Base Machines: Feller Bunchers and forestry excavators compatible with the load.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: Poppins, Arial\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">Rotation: Available with 40\u00b0 or 360\u00b0 (medium torque) rotation, adapting to wheeled or tracked bases.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Hydraulic System: Efficient configuration of individual cylinders for grab and accumulation arms.<\/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 \/>Need to confirm if your machine can handle this head? <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">Contact us to check load charts and required hydraulic flow.<br \/>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\"><font face=\"Poppins, Arial\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.3333px\"><b>FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)<\/b><\/span><\/font><span style=\"font-family: Poppins, Arial;font-size: 10pt\"><b><br \/><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\"><span style=\"font-family: Poppins, Arial;font-size: 10pt\"><b>1. What is the main advantage of the Quadco C-Series? <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Poppins, Arial;font-size: 10pt\">The major asset is the tall tower design, which offers better leverage. This allows for handling tall and heavy wood with increased control.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Poppins, Arial;font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\"><br \/>2. What is the accumulation capacity of the 18C?<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Poppins, Arial;font-size: 10pt\"> It features an accumulation area of 0.28 m\u00b2, allowing operators to bunch multiple small or medium stems before dumping, thus optimizing the feller buncher&#8217;s cycles.&nbsp;<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Poppins, Arial;font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\"><br \/>3. What maintenance does the disc system require? <\/span><span style=\"font-family: Poppins, Arial;font-size: 10pt\">The system is designed to be ultra-reliable and features easily adjustable bearings, significantly reducing technical downtime in the forest.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Poppins, Arial;font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\"><br \/>4. Is it compatible with fixed or rotatable tooth discs? <\/span><span style=\"font-family: Poppins, Arial;font-size: 10pt\">The 18C accepts both one-piece and segmented discs, allowing you to choose the tooth configuration (18 total) best suited to your soil&#8217;s abrasiveness.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Poppins, Arial;font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\"><br \/>5. What is the difference between 40\u00b0 and 360\u00b0 rotation?<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Poppins, Arial;font-size: 10pt\"> The 360\u00b0 rotation offers total versatility for positioning the head without moving the machine (ideal for selective thinnings), while the 40\u00b0 option is lighter and simpler, often used for clear-cuts.FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) \u2013 Quadco 18C<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Poppins, Arial;font-size: 10pt;font-weight: bold\"><br \/><\/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\">High-speed accumulation with maximum leverage<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">The Quadco 18C is an accumulating felling head designed to maximize leverage on tall timber thanks to its extended tower design.
