4-Bladed Saw Cuts Roadside Brush
“The Quadsaw mounts on our Multi Carrier, which is available in 3 different sizes to fit any farm loader arms whether tractor, skid steer, mini-loader or telehandler,” says René Franck, GreenTec A/S. “A variety of working tools, including a hedge cutter, are available for the Multi Carrier, but the Quadsaw is the most popular.”
The Quadsaw comes in 4 models with working widths ranging from 4 1/2 ft. to nearly 8 ft. Weights for the 4 models range from 105 to 526 lbs. The smallest model, the LRS 1402, can slice through branches up to 4 in. dia., while the largest model, the LRS 2401, can handle branches up to 8 in. dia.
“The saw blades are carbide tipped for long life and minimal maintenance,” says Franck. “They cut the branch rather than shred it, which can introduce disease into the tree.”
The diameter of the individual overlapping blades on the 4 models ranges from 13 1/2 in. to 23 in. Quadsaw cutting angles can range 110 degrees from horizontal past vertical.
Although pricing may vary, Franck offered a rough estimate for Multi Carriers with matching Quadsaws in U.S. dollars. The smallest of the 3 carriers with the smallest Quadsaw starts at $7,600. The largest carrier/Quadsaw combination has a starting price of $12,800.
“Our first North American dealer is in Ontario,” says Franck. “However, we hope to expand with dealerships across Canada and the U.S. Our area sales manager Dennis Martin is handling inquiries on products and dealerships.”
Franck describes farmers as the main market for the carrier/Quadsaws. Roadside maintenance is another targeted market.
