Shear Kit

At F.lli Dalmasso, in addition to offering the classic forestry shear for felling only, we propose an innovative hardox cutting blade kit that allows the MiBand grapples to be equipped, transforming a standard grapple into a highly versatile solution optimised for felling.

Our hardox cutter blade kit allows for quick switching between felling, stacking and loading operations without the need to change tools.
This is made possible by a hydraulic system that allows the cutter blade (single or double) to be put back into its resting position quickly and efficiently, ensuring maximum efficiency in the field and limiting the space requirement of the kit.

• Versatile functionality: EVO grapples equipped with our kit offer exceptional versatility, allowing operators to perform a variety of tasks without interruptions or equipment changes, saving time and resources.
• Rugged Materials for the toughest conditions: The single or double Hardox cutting blade kit is designed with high-quality materials known for their strength and durability. Ensuring reliable performance even in the toughest conditions and a long product life.
• Increased operator safety: MiBand grapples with single or double Hardox cutting blade kit are designed to increase safety during felling operations.

Single Blade
The single cutting blade kits cover a wide range of cutting diameters, with cuts available from 100mm to 400mm. This configuration offers an ideal solution to adapt to various customer needs.

In this version, a single Hardox blade is responsible for the complete cutting of the plant. Despite the lightness and cost-effectiveness of the kit, it is important to note that it may be more susceptible to distortion if the operator tilts the grapple before completing the cut because of the lack of a specific reinforcing rib and needs to penetrate entirely inside the plant.
When in the resting position, the blade closes inside a dedicated structure. The operator, hydraulically, opens the blade, grabs the tree to be cut, and activates the blade closure command. The blade penetrates the log, making the cut, and then closes again in resting position.
In this way, the log is supported exclusively by the grapple’s force.

Double blade
The double cutting blade kits cover the same wide range of cutting diameters, from 100mm to 400mm, offering a versatile solution for individual customer needs.

In this version, two Hardox blades, one on the right and one on the left, are completely opened in resting position, above the grapple’s subframe, completely eliminating the bulkiness. This kit, heavier and bulkier than the Single Blade kit , features two cylinders and a specific reinforcing rib that strenghtens the blades.
When the blade is in the fully open position, the operator can grab the tree to be cut and activate the blade closing command. The blades penetrate the log, making the cut until partially overlapping. In this way, the log is supported by the two blades and held by the grapple’s force.
