A workshop based around the journey from ‘Tree to Heat’ was held at Wakelyns Agroforestry, Suffolk, UK, in January 2017. This workshop was part of an EU-funded project, SustainFARM, which aims to investigate the economic and environmental performance of both traditional and innovative agroforestry systems.

As part of the trial a Bracke C16.c accumulating felling head with a circular saw cutting blade mounted on a purpose built Valmet 901.4 operated by Martyn Neve of Even Forestry was compared with tree shears and manual cutting, using chainsaws.

The Bracke head was quick and efficient at cutting the SRC and had the advantage over the tractor mounted circular saw usually used on the farm as it was able to place the material in neat piles to be collected up and chipped at a later date.
