KX210, KX280 and KX350 Tree Shears and KXK210, KXK280 and KXK350 Tilting Tree Shears can be equipped with the collector.<\/span><\/p>\n

Using a collector to cut energy wood speeds up the work, especially when cutting smaller trees, as the difference can be up to 20-100%. This has led to a significant increase in the use of energy wood collectors.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Central Finland, the current price for wood chips is around 45\u20ac\/m\u00b3 when piled up on the roadside. The cost of driving energy wood, correspondingly, is around 5.5-7.5\u20ac\/m\u00b3.<\/span><\/p>\n

In our own tests with the KX280 Tree shear during restoration of a young forest, we have achieved a yield of around 2.5-3.5m\u00b3\/h without the collector and 4.3 m\u00b3\/h with the same tree shear equipped with the collector<\/span><\/p>\n

Thus, without a collector, the yield is 45\u20ac (price of wood on the roadside) \u2013 7\u20ac (driving) = 38\u20ac\/m\u00b3 * 3m\u00b3 (volume felled per hour) = 114\u20ac\/h<\/span><\/p>\n

KX280 Tree Shear with the collector yields 45\u20ac (price of wood on the roadside) \u2013 7\u20ac (driving) = 38\u20ac\/m3 * 4.3m\u00b3 (volume felled per hour) = 163.40\u20ac\/h<\/span><\/p>\n

The output per hour is therefore around 49.40\u20ac higher with the collector, which can be calculated almost entirely as profit.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, it is important to remember that using the collector with the tree shear requires practice and two double-acting hydraulics on the machine to operate. <\/span><\/p>\n

We are happy to help you in planning the implementation of hydraulics, and our selection includes the KX Semi-automatic collector valve, with which the collector can be operated from one double-acting hydraulic system.<\/span><\/p>\n

Steps to use tree shear with the collector:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Move the tree shear in the direction of the tree to be cut, with the collector closed and the jaws open.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Cut the tree by squeezing the jaws.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Once the tree is cut off, the collector is opened<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Close the collector, open the jaws and move on to cut the next tree<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Repeat steps 1, 2 and 3 until the tree shears blade can no longer cut more trees or the collected bundle becomes unstable.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Empty the tree shear by opening the jaws and the collector at the desired unloading point.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Shorten the trees on the ground by using the tree shear, if they need to be shortened to facilitate driving.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
