INNOVATION - FELLING HEADS
Gilbert recently introduced the 3018 felling head, the latest model of our 3000L Series. Offering a cutting capacity of 18 inch (457 mm), the 3018 model excels in biomass and thinning applications. Its compact size is optimal for installation on small to medium size carrier as well as excavator which represents an affordable alternative to purpose-built feller bunchers in many territories. A new innovative 350 degree rotation system is integrated inside the top tower as a standard feature for maximum visibility and it allows the trees to be closer to the center of the head. The 3018 offers the same Gilbert quality with a geometry perfectly designed for accumulation of more trees in tight and straight bunches. Gilbert heads are now available in 18, 22, 24 and 28 inch cutting size with 40 degree or 350 degree high rotation wrists.
