Bracke C16.c is an accumulating felling head for silviculture and biomass applications. It has unique, patented circular saw disc on which a ¾” saw chain is installed.

The disc’s design always keeps the chain tensioned. It has a hydraulic piston engine. Felling head can be attached to harvesters, forwarders, and other machines equipped with a boom or crane. It is suited for mechanized felling, such as in sapling clearing, thinning, corridor clearing, crane corridor thinning and clearing along roadsides, fields and power lines. It can be used for cutting small diameter trees – up to 260 mm in diameter.
