stands and maintains traction in thicker stands
• Supporting wheel arms and five feed rollers provide a
steady grip even on the coarsest stems, which facilitates the
processing of heavy trees
• Proportional tilt that is adjustable and lockable for easier tree
processing
• Proportional knife and feed roll pressure provides optimum
grip depending on tree species and diameter for fast feeding
while at the same time maintaining a low diesel consumption.
