Welcome to Explore the Daily Life of Energy Wood Harvesting Professional Jaakko Vatilo in Ostrobothnia, Finland. Jaakko works with energy wood harvesting as a side business to agriculture and shares how the JAK tree shear has played a central role in his work for several years.

Energy Wood Harvesting at an Old Sand Pit Worksite

This Time, Jaakko is Working at Old Sand Pits Located on the Border of Ostrobothnia and South Ostrobothnia. The area is undergoing restoration, where the forest is thinned into a sparse, park-like state. The largest trees are preserved, while the rest are cut down. The harvested wood is transported to local energy heating plants for practical use.

The JAK-300B Tree Shear as a Work Tool

Jaakko uses the JAK-300B tree shear in his work, which is equipped with the eBoost hydraulic system and a new collector. These features enable efficient collection of small trees, especially when cleaning roadsides. The collector helps gather as much wood as the tree shear can hold in one go, increasing work efficiency.

The eBoost hydraulic system stands out, as it adds speed to the work. The oil flow passing through the Engcon works seamlessly with it, and this solution has proven to be a game changer.

Years of Experience with the JAK Tree Shear

The JAK tree shear was not Jaakko’s first choice without reason. He tested energy shears from several different manufacturers, but its structure and durability convinced him. In the rocky conditions of Ostrobothnia, tools are required to be tough, and the JAK tree shear has been in use by Jaakko since 2017. He has never regretted his choice, and switching to a competitor’s brand has never crossed his mind.

Summary

Jaakko Vatilo is an example of how the right tools and experience create a successful combination in energy wood harvesting. The JAK tree shear has proven to be a reliable partner that meets the demands of both efficiency and durability.
