Forester 1000

The Forester 1000 portable processor is for the serious firewood contractor. We use the same high production saw technology used in tree harvesting equipment, coupled with our flying cutoff saw. We believe that you will find this new technology offers the highest production rates in the industry.

Standard Features

1. HIGH PRODUCTION PROCESSOR
Our processor module bundles the infeed and cutoff operation into one. This reduces the cut time of a log significantly, and greater production is realized.
2. 10 FOOT LIVE INFEED BED
This production infeed bed moves your log at rates up to 60 FPM.
3. THREE 5FOOT LIVE LOG DECK ARMS
Our processor comes standard with 5’ arms but these can be extended up to 8’. During hi-way travel the arms are lifted into a vertical position which can be done manually, but when extended the weight requires that the log deck arms have hydraulic lift cylinders for elevating.
4. 50-HP DIESEL ENGINE WITH HYDRAULIC PUMPS AND SOLENOID VALVES
We are now into production grade equipment that will last for many years.
5. 30-INCH SAW BAR CAPABLE OF CUTTING LOGS UP TO 20” IN DIAMETER
New technology has greatly enhanced the speed of the cutting cycle. Our 30” saw bar features a 404 chain that is easy to remove and replace.
6. V-TROUGH BOX SPLITTER WITH 5 by 28” SPLITTER PISTON
Splitters take the greatest abuse of the entire system. To handle this type of abuse, we build our splitters in an enclosed frame. This transfers the splitting force away from the base of the blade to the splitter frame.
7. 6 OR 8-WAY ADJUSTABLE SPLITTERS WITH INSERT KNIVES
There is no need to split and then re-split with our splitters. Due to the design of our frame, large blocks can be easily processed in one operation. Our splitter knives with the insert blades were developed over twenty years ago. These blades have a hardened leading edge that can withstand most abuse, but when damage does happen they can be taken out in minutes and easily replaced.
8. 12 FOOT INCLINE CONVEYOR
No one wants to handle firewood twice. This adjustable height conveyor will carry all the wood you give it and deliver it to most standard trucks.

Accessories

Log loading boom
For those systems where the logs are brought to the landing and piled, the addition of a loading boom eliminates the need of secondary equipment. This is mounted directly adjacent to the splitter, and has a reach of up to 14 feet if mounted to the Forester 2000 frame.

Operator cab
The addition of the operator cab immediately over the splitter makes it convenient and comfortable to operate the processor in any type of weather.

Remote hand-held operators pendent
The remote hand-held pendent gives the operator the freedom to operate the system from a loader or simply from a convenient position.

Field pelletizer and bagger
Another product line that will soon be introduced is a pelletizer and bagger. By adding this to the accessories mounted on the frame, you maximize your profit from both the processor and logging sight.

Fire Wood bundler
We will also be introducing a short incline that feeds directly to an automatic grading bundler system. This system will allow you to choose bulk processing and feeding into dumpsters or packaging bundles for retail operations. Again, your product-to-profit ratio skyrockets when labor is either greatly reduced or eliminated altogether.
