The use of a pivoted, split front housing combined with dual hydraulic cylinders mounted to the sides of the machine makes the hog faster, simpler and safer to open. The large opening provides excellent access to common wear components, including the anvil, hammers and screens.
West Salem is the first to build the unique design, according to the company.

New Fecon Machine Harvests Small Trees, Then Chips Them
Fecon has developed a new machine to harvest small-diameter trees in the forest and process them into chips.
The Fecon Bio-Harvester performs both functions: it fells and chips.
The Fecon Bio-Harvester can be mounted to the Fecon FTX440, a 440 hp forestry crawler tractor, or to a large horsepower tractor PTO. The FTX440 is also capable of towing and powering an agricultural dump wagon to collect chips.
Material is chipped using Fecon Bull Hog chipper knives or carbide tools, then augured to a material processing fan and blown into a collection unit. It can discharge from the rear or the side, enabling it to be used with a variety of different trailers.
Applications for the Fecon Bio-Harvester include pre-commercial and commercial thinning, non-merchantable timber and brush. It enhances forestry management and processes low-grade woody material into renewable biomass for energy production.
Fecon is improving the design of the Bio-Harvester to increase productivity and to make it more viable for other applications, such as logging slash.
