Grapples
The affordable FARMA grapple series Generation 2 has become very popular.
The claw geometry makes it easier to fill the grapple, and to “dig” better in the timber.
The grapple range is available in the sizes 0.12, 0.16, 0.20, 0.24 and 0.28.

Energy brush grapple
FARMA has under the G2 series developed brush grapples to simplify handling brush when working in the forest so the slash (limbs and tops) should not fasten as easily in the grapple.
The brush grapple is available in two models, 0.12, 0.16 and 0.20.

Insert Buckets
Insert buckets are an easy and cost-efficient way to supplement the grapple for loading gravel and clearing ditches, etc. The insert buckets are easy to apply on the crane’s existing FARMA G2 grapple.
Insert buckets are available for the G2 grapple models 0.12, 0.16 and 0.20.

Energy cutters
Cutters must not be used to handle trees with a diameter larger than 18 cm at the cutting point. Bear in mind that there are many aspects that can influence the potential to cut a tree of 18 cm, such as the tree species, moisture, and ambient temperature and whether the tree is frozen.
Energy cutter BC18
FARMA BC 18 Energy cutter makes your work in the forest more productive and the job faster. It is easy to fold and it easily cuts, gathers and loads everything from trees, rice as well as bush and stumps. The centre of gravity makes it easy to place the grapple directly at the root. FARMA energy cutter is a combined grapple and felling head often used for clearing energy wood.
Max. cutting diameter (mm*): 180
Max. grapple opening (mm): 660
Max pressure (MPa): 19.0
Recommended oil flow (l/min *): 40-60
Tilt angle: 90
Weight (Kg): 190
Energy Cutter BC18, excavator
FARMA presents BC18 energy cutter to be used on excavators. The energy cutter can be equipped with S30/180, S40 or S45 coupling.

Energy cutter BC25, excavator
A larger, stronger and more powerful energy cutter for excavators.
The BC 25 is larger compared to BC 18 and is made for mounting with various adapters for small to medium-sized excavators.
It fells up to 25 cm thick timber depending on tree species. It uses two powerful cylinders to quickly and efficiently cut through the timber. The replaceable knife is specially designed for BC 25 and is made of high wear resistant steel.
The BC 25 is equipped with exchangable quick couplers. For example S40 and S45 or any other quick coupler required.
