Mecanil XG220 G2

Versatile and efficient energy wood felling head with both saw and cutting unit

– This is a giant leap forward in professional energy- and small wood harvesting.
 

With this unique head you cut small bushes, twigs and thinner trees with a snap and fell bigger trees using the saw. The head also works perfectly as a traditional loading grapple. The XG220 is a combination of two of the most successful and tried out Mecanil products; Mecanil EG250 energy wood felling head and SG220 grapple saw. The head is very easy to install because of no need for any additional hydraulics. Mecanil XG220 A RC is equipped with the patented self-powered wireless control. Does not require any change of battery. The battery is charged when the grapple is in use.

Mecanil on ElmiaWood 2017

Mecanil participated in the ElmiaWood exhibition in Sweden in June 2017. The show was a success with many both new and familiar visitors. We introduced a new grapple saw model, Mecanil SG350 XD. This model is developed especially to be used on excavators. It is big and robust with a reinforced body and a patented new strong saw system.
