Practical report
At Forstservice von Heeren, the Moritz is used primarily for forestry duties, as a forwarding tractor. In addition to the forestry cable winch for the Moritz mini felling tractor, Peter von Heeren also has a MAX forestry mulcher and appreciates how quickly and simply it can be converted.
Practical report
For the purpose of a forstARENA practical report, we provided the landscape maintenance company A. Rauck with a Moritz Fr75 for three months. Anni Rauck tested the remote-controlled implement carrier and compared it to her Moritz Fr50. Anni was really impressed with the performance and detailed solutions of the Moritz Fr75.
Moritz is the basis for natural and sustainable reforestation. From the preparation of the area for sowing or planting to the maintaining ot the young plantations, the remote-
controlled implement carrier convinces with its possibilities.
Attachments for the Moritz
- MAX forestry tiller
- Forestry planter
- Strip seeding machine
More output for your needs
On a purely visual basis the new models continue with the characteristic Moritz mini felling tractor design, yet technologically the vehicles have evolved significantly.
The new 4-cylinder DEUTZ engines generate a high torque (max. 260 Nm) and now boast 36.4 or 55.4 kW. The powerful Common Rail injection system and highly efficient combustion featuring cooled, external exhaust gas recirculation guarantees maximum engine performance as well as low fuel consumption and emission values. The water-cooled 4-cylinder in-line engine featuring cooled, external exhaust gas recirculation is installed in the Fr75 and Fr50 models without turbocharging.
The new engine categories in conjunction with the powerful hydraulics system and the additionally available, mechanical PTO enable operation of demanding attachments and cable winches with high tractive force.
High-spec hydraulics
The hydraulics system consists of three separate systems for drive mode, on-board and performance hydraulics. This separation opens up new dimensions for all three systems.
- Driving hydraulics | 2x 11 kW
- On-board hydraulics | 18 l/min, 200 bar, 6 dual action control units
- Performance hydraulics | 96 l/min, 300 bar with multi-coupler
The working hydraulics now offer up to four proportional and two black/white, double-action functions which can all be operated simultaneously using the remote control.
More convenient operation for more output
For accessing the felling zone or forwarding as well as mulching, the proportional drive supports two speeds. The maximum speed is 6.0 km/h.
A drift setting to compensate for the downgrade force when mowing across a slope can be preset to guarantee convenient processes. The final speed can additionally be gradually adjusted.
The wide running gear and the low deadweight of the caterpillar create a low ground pressure of only 0.28 / 0.33 kg/cm² and thus protect the substrate to cause no issues on wet ground.
Thanks to a front slope angle of 50° and a rear slope angle of 40°, the mini felling tractor can easily make the transition from forest tracks into standing timber. The ample ground clearance of 320 mm allows the tractor to easily pick its way over roots and stumps and to manoeuvre on forwarding trails.
New drive dimension
The running gear width of the Moritz Fr70/75 can be adjusted to achieve the optimum width for both transport and off-road operations. The running gear can be hydraulically widened by 400mm. This means that the mini felling tractor can also be safely operated on slopes.
The running gear with a length of 1,650 mm is available for special applications in two configured widths: 250 and 300 mm.
In control of all functions
Control and monitor all mini felling tractor functions using the completely new, ergonomic remote control. Functions include drive and cable winch speed adaptations as well as drive and cable winch control. If the vehicle is not needed for a short time, the engine can also be stopped or started via the remote control.
It is also possible to conveniently control any third-party attachments using the remote control for the Moritz.
Powerful winch
The Moritz can be equipped with a professional-specification geared cable winch generating a tractive force of 5.0 to 7.2 metric tons and providing a maximum cable capacity of 110 m for felling, forwarding or pre-bundling applications.
Proportional cable speed in both directions allows adjustment to different work situations.
For tidy cable winding, the cable winch can be equipped with a cable infeed brake.
Stability
The stacking shield is the basis for all winching work. It has been equipped with double-action hydraulic cylinders. If the weight of the mini felling tractor is not sufficient for winch operations, it can be additionally secured to another object (for example a tree) within a very short time.
The cable infeed height of the mini felling tractor is variable. The cable winch has been integrated into the stacking shield to be able to provide variable cable infeed heights.
Multipurpose unit
In addition to an installed cable winch at a favourable centre of gravity the Moritz boasts so many more functions to make it suitable for use as an off-road carrier vehicle. The cable winch, installed using a quick-change system, can be removed in only a few steps. It only takes a single person a few minutes to complete the procedure thanks to the excavation device. You can then mount tools to the vehicle using the three-point hitch (cat. 1).
Pfanzelt professional equipment for flexible application:
- Forestry mulchers with oscillating, Y-shaped flails (optionally with hydraulic front flap and hydraulic lateral adjustment)
- Forestry milling tool MAX with fixed tools, hydraulic front flap and chain guide (optionally with hydraulic lateral adjustment) Read more
- Sowing strip mulcher Read more
- Planting machine Read more
Using the category 1 three-point hitch at the front and rear it is possible to attach other standard equipment made by third-party manufacturers to the Moritz.
Optimum weight distribution - as a remote-controlled implement carrier and as a mini forestry tractor
In addition to a cable winch which is installed on the vehicle with a favourable centre of gravity, the Moritz can be used multifunctionally as an off-road carrier vehicle. The cable winch, which is mounted using a quick-change system, can be dismantled in just a few steps. After that, implements can be attached to the vehicle via the threepoint linkage (Cat. 1).
Mechanical PTO
The Moritz’s mechanical PTO is unique on the market within forestry and mulcher minitractors. It is directly driven without hardly any loss and thus highly efficient in application. In combination with the universally suitable cat. 1 three-point hydraulics the Moritz is transformed into a multipurpose minitractor.
Multifunctional front installation space
Moritz is compatible with the right equipment for any application. Consequently, the vehicle features a second installation space at the front. The front power lift generates a maximum lifting force of 7 kN and can additionally also be equipped with a top link point.
MAX forestry cutter
With the MAX forestry cutter, the Moritz becomes a problem solver - for crop maintenance as well as for planting preparation and many other applications in the forest.
Technical specs:
- Standing tools
- Hydraulic front flap
- Hydraulic downholder
- Option: hydraulic side shift
- Working width 1,200 mm
Auxiliary winch
For use on steep slopes, the Moritz forestry tractor can be equipped with an auxiliary winch which can be used with 360°. Safe and ground-conserving operation is thus possible even in extreme terrain.
Technical specs:
- Pulling force 10 kN
- Cable length max. 50 m
- Forward/reverse with freewheel clutch
Stump grinder
The stump grinder is the supplement to the Moritz for all arborists, problem tree cutters, and gardeners and landscapers.
Technical specs:
- Hydraulic support (parallel)
- Swivel radius +/- 45
- Working depth maximum 620 mm
- Hydraulic front and rear adjustment of the swivel arm
- Grinding wheel diameter 600 mm
- 24 carbide round chisels, can be used on three sides
Traction winch
Hydraulically driven traction winch for securing the crawler on steep and difficult terrain, and minimising ground damage. Cable infeed with all-round rotating cable infeed pulley, mounted on the vertically supported rotation arm, so that the vehicle is not hindered by the tensioned traction cable, and all directions of travel can be freely selected.
Planter
- Automated planting
- Milling wheel for preparing the planting site
- Magazine for 50 container plants
- Operation via Moritz radio control
The planter is equipped with a hydraulically driven milling disc to clear the planting bed of unwanted growth and forest soil. Afterwards, the planting spade is used and digs the planting hole. The planting magazine rotates and the plant falls into the ground hole; the plant is pressed on by a hydraulically operated device to ensure the required ground contact. After planting is finished, the machine is moved back to its initial position.
Protection from dead wood
There is a high risk of accidents for the forestry worker when felling trees by hand. Vibrations (for example from hitting the wedge) or wind can cause dead wood to come loose and fall down. This can cause injuries that may even be fatal. The personal protection screen for the Moritz mini forestry tractor offers the greatest possible protection for the forestry worker during the entire felling process.
