This field-test record helps commercial buyers evaluate a ME-RFM1000-D demonstration without turning one video into a universal performance promise. It identifies the machine, task, visible evidence and limits, then lists the site data required before configuration.
What the test shows
The MERI test video identifies the ME-RFM1000-D and shows a 100 mm tree cutting demonstration. The visible test is useful evidence for that recorded setup and material.

Observed working sequence
This branch-test record is relevant to buyers deciding whether woody material belongs within a forestry-head task. Review the visible material and cutting sequence alongside the stated evidence boundary. A branch demonstration should be used to frame questions about your stems, not to rate an entire site.
What the video does not prove
The recorded result is not a guaranteed cycle time. Species, moisture, shape, ground contact, operator method, blade condition and machine configuration can change the result.
How to compare your site
Measure representative stem diameters, species and spacing, including the largest material in each patch. Record whether wood is standing, lying or mixed with soil and debris. Those differences affect the comparison and should accompany photographs with a visible scale reference.
Configuration questions
- Confirm the exact machine and working-system configuration.
- Measure access, transport route and recovery route.
- Describe the material or crop, ground and environmental conditions.
- State the required result, frequency and daily work window.
- Check the current product page, TDS and final quotation together.
Use the record in an acceptance review
For a site review, document the material before and after a representative pass, any interruption and the remaining pieces. Agree the required reduction result before treating a cut as acceptable. A successful branch cut does not describe the finish or production rate of a whole clearing job.
Operational controls
Complete a site risk assessment and follow the delivered instructions, applicable local rules and task-specific controls. Establish exclusion zones, operator position, communication, stop procedure and recovery method before work.
Evidence to request before ordering
Confirm the compatible forestry head and cutting tools for the diesel configuration, then distinguish its published reference from the exact observed test. Ask how material outside the agreed task will be handled. The order should identify the tools and guards being supplied.

Buyer FAQ
Is the video a guaranteed production rate?
No. It documents the visible demonstration only. Output changes with configuration, material, terrain, weather and operating method.
Can the site be selected from a video alone?
No. Send measurements and representative media for the intended site and verify the current product documents.
Does this page change the TDS rating?
No. The current TDS and final ordered specification remain the technical references.
