ALPEN Wildhorn 40/2 - Replacement Counter-Blade

ALPEN Wildhorn 40/2 Replacement Counter-Blade

The ALPEN Wildhorn 40/2 is the genuine replacement counter-blade (anvil) specifically engineered for the Wildhorn 40 professional heavy-duty electric pruning shears. This component serves as the critical "hook" that stabilizes branches during the cutting cycle, providing the necessary resistance for the cutting blade to pass through cleanly. Designed to match the impressive 40mm cutting capacity of the Wildhorn 40 system, this counter-blade is built with a reinforced profile to handle high-torque applications in forestry and orchards. Replacing a worn or damaged counter-blade is essential for maintaining the perfect bypass alignment and ensuring your power shears continue to deliver surgical, non-crushing cuts.

Best For Professional arborists, orchardists, and foresters using the ALPEN Wildhorn 40 who need to restore the tool's original branch-holding stability and heavy-duty structural integrity.

Key Features

• Reinforced Forged Steel: Constructed from premium-grade forged steel to provide maximum resistance to bending and deformation under the extreme mechanical force of the 40mm cutting system.

• Large-Capacity Hook Geometry: Specifically profiled to securely cradle thick branches, ensuring they remain stable and centered during the power stroke for a clean, efficient finish.

• Integrated Sap Groove: Features a precision-machined channel to divert sap and moisture away from the cutting head, preventing the blades from sticking during intensive, full-day pruning sessions.

• Surgical Bypass Alignment: Engineered to provide the exact factory tolerances required for a precise "scissor-cut," which is vital for preventing bark tearing and promoting rapid tree healing.

• Direct Factory Fit: A genuine ALPEN replacement part designed for seamless installation and perfect synchronization with the 40/1 cutting blade and internal gear assembly.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
