Apr. 5 2018 Heavy Equipment By Best Line Equipment

Approaching spring for a lot of different industries means the start of a new season.  For the forestry industry, spring is go time!  It's time to gear up and be ready for a successful forestry season.  We at Best Line Equipment want you to be one step ahead and have the best fleet of attachments.  Here is Best Line's top 7 forestry attachments you need to get the most productivity this season.

1. Wheel Loader Attachment - High Tip Bucket

  • The high tip bucket is the choice for you when you need to reach longer and higher.  They are best for light materials such as chip, peat and light gravel and when the bucket is emptied from a height much higher than a normal bucket.  With the hydraulic cylinder, the bucket pushes and tips the bucket over its front edge, which gives considerably more tipping height than with a normal bucket.

2. Wheel Loader Attachment - Log Grapple

  • Move and load logs easily when you combine a grapple attachment with a Log Loader.  The Log Grapple is designed to work harder, last longer and perform better in the field or in the yard.  You can count on superb durability and serviceability in extreme conditions with your Log Grapple.

3. Wheel Loader Attachment - Log Forks

  • The three important factors that combine to guarantee efficient long handling, visibility, reliability, and capacity.  The Log Forks combine all of these to deliver years of productive log handling.  An advantage to the Log Forks is the tine spacing.  On these forks, the tine spacing is infinitely adjustable.  This way, you can have them set to suit whatever job you have.

4. Excavator Attachment - Rotating Grapple

  • Grab and get a secure grip onto the toughest materials thrown out you in the jobsite with the grapple attachment.  This grapple delivers easy handling of hard to manage materials with maximum power.  The grapple has four hydraulic tines which rotate 360 degrees.  Other features include a lift eye for an under slung magnet, a slew drive motor with internal reliefs hose kit and mount.  

5. Excavator Attachment - Skeleton Bucket 

  • Rock tine buckets or skeleton buckets get the job done.  If you are combing out large rocks or loading to a minimum size, the skeleton bucket is the attachment for you.  Skeleton buckets are designed to help separate loose rock from other soil.

6. Rotobec Pulpwood Grapple series

  • Rotobec Pulpwood Grapples have carefully designed jaws for handling wood in piles wherever you like. The grapples are known for their unbeatable efficiency and maximum versatility.  These grapples have optional butt plates and a hold down chain to provide equipment operators with an unsurpassed level of control over their load.  When it comes to the Pulpwood Grapple, Rotobec is simply the toughest around town.

 7. Rotobec Grapple Saw 

  •  The Grapple Saw puts a new meaning to the word multitasking.  Rotobec offers their customers in the logging industry with an untouchable one-two punch with the addition of a saw that adds an element of versatility to the already unstoppable Log Grapple.  The saws can be fitted to both heavy duty and super heavy duty series grapples of log grapples as well as the rake and bucket series.
