or 50 years, Precision Husky
has been known for building
top quality forest products,
a reputation of which the
company is truly proud.
“But we aren’t satisfied with
what happened yesterday,”
Precision President Scott Smith
told International Forest Industries
recently.
“We never stop improving the
toughest, most tested forestry
equipment in the world. We design
it for the payout and we mean for
it to work as hard as our client do,
and for years to come.”
The company’s heavy-duty,
enhanced-technology flails for
mills and woods are prominent
within the industry for many
reasons, including some that
might surprise even the most
knowledgeable woodsman.
In fact, Precision flail
debarkers/delimbers are nearly
“flawless”, according to the
manufacturer, with efficiency by
reducing bark content to as low as

0.3% on average. That’s the lowest
bark-per-tonne and cost-per-tonne
in the industry.
“If you’re using any other
machine, you’re simply paying too
much,” Smith said, who implores
the market to review the company’s
line-up of flail and rosserhead
debarkers.
“Like every single piece of our
world-class forestry equipment,
our flails and rosserheads are
better engineered, built heavier
and stronger and offer you more
overall production with far less
down time,” he said.
“We’re the heavy weights of the
logging industry and have no plans
to go on a diet.”
Flail Debarker 2600-4
The large capacity four-flail
debarker can process multiple logs
from 3 in up to 26 in in diameter
(76-660 mm) and now, thanks to
recent upgrades, operators are
able to adjust the feed rate based
on a dual wireless CAN+ link and
camera system linking the flail with
a whole tree chipper.
