Prentice SC-57 CENTER POST SAW
AVAILABLE FOR THE PRENTICE 2570 AND 2670
Features:
Performance
The SC-57 excels at cutting and handling large single stems up to
56 cm (22 in). It also bunches medium and small stems, making it a
versatile saw for thinning through nal harvesting. The gathering arms
and tower work together to grip and tightly hold large single stems
and smaller stem bunches for better control. A single cylinder and link
control the left and right side gathering arms and bunching ngers
simultaneously, improving speed and holding power. The center of
gravity of the SC-57 is in close to the front axle for stability even when
handling large stems in rough terrain. Hoses are routed directly into
the back of the head for maximum visibility.
Durability
The SC-57 supports loads that twist or bend the arms of less rigid saws.
Large pivot pins reduce stress and increase bushing life. Sealed upper
and lower bearing chambers maximize shaft and bearing life by keeping
each bearing lubricated. The shaft is tapered reducing stress during
high impact. The carry plate is designed to ex slightly to relieve stress
transferred through the welds. Chips and other abrasive material are
discharged from the saw housing reducing wear and enhancing disc
recovery time to improve fuel efciency. Hydraulic hoses are encased
in heavy-duty rubber tubing and are not exposed to direct impact.

Serviceability
The SC-57 minimizes downtime for greasing, motor adjustments or
maintenance. With the head tilted forward and gathering arms and
bunching ngers open, all grease zerks are accessible from the ground
level. There are no grease zerks located below the saw disc housing
eliminating the need to grease from the bottom of the head. Two large
panels allow access to the saw motor from both sides. The saw disc is
easy to remove – the housing is totally open and the skids do not need
to be removed to access the disc.
