When trees are mature, hedgerows are heavy and the ground is too soft to put a chainsaw crew on it safely, you need a machine that handles the cutting capacity without slowing your excavator down. The Predator 450 grips the stem as it cuts, the tree is controlled and laid down cleanly. Faster and safer than ground-based chainsaw thinning.

Add a short season, Irish weather cutting into your working days, and waiting on parts from a supplier who has never seen your machine.

Lead time is typically 4 to 6 weeks, and as the season approaches build slots fill up quickly so early orders get priority. That time is spent machining your custom headstock to your exact pin size and hydraulic specification, assembling the attachment and checking it before it leaves. At 800kg this machine has to be right. You are not buying a stock product from a warehouse. You are getting a machine built to your excavator, to the standard we have maintained since 1993. That takes time and it is worth it. The contractors ready on day one of the season planned ahead. Call now to discuss your build slot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"mce-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"mce-faq-q\"\u003eCan I use the Predator 450 for plantation thinning?\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"mce-faq-a\"\u003eYes. The Predator 450 handles plantation thinning for trunks and heavy timber up to 450mm diameter. It grips the trunk as it cuts so the tree is controlled and laid down cleanly.

Lead time is typically 4 to 6 weeks, and as the season approaches build slots fill up quickly so early orders get priority. That time is spent machining your custom headstock to your exact pin size and hydraulic specification, assembling the attachment and checking it before it leaves. You are not buying an off-the-shelf product that has been sitting in a warehouse. You are getting a machine built specifically for your excavator, to the standard we have been holding since 1993.
