Bio-Harvester designed for woody biomass
The Bio-Harvester is designed to simultaneously fell, chip, and collect small diameter woody biomass. These units are ideal for pre-commercial and commercial thinning applications, non-merchantable timber and brush. Units will also harvest fire-prone ladder fuel material, producing wood chips from previously unutilized biomass sources. Wood chips can then be used to produce bio-energy via the generation of electricity or liquid fuel production.
The Bio-Harvester can be mounted to Fecon’s FTX440, a 440-horsepower, forestry-guarded, crawler tractor, or to a large, high-horsepower PTO tractor. The FTX440 is also capable of towing and powering an agricultural dump wagon to collect material. Material is chipped using Fecon Bull Hog chipper knives or carbide tools, then augured to a material processing fan and blown into a collection unit. Units can discharge from the rear or the side enabling a variety of collection units.
