Branch Breaker 3500 (BB3K)

The Branch Breaker 3500 (BB3K) is a redesign of the original Branch Breaker 2000 (BB2K). The BB2K was designed from a whiteboard sketch/idea of how to break tree branches for storm data research. The original, BB2K, contained 2 600 lb. hand winches on the branch attachment side and 1 2000 lb. electric winch on the stem (breaking) side.
