Abstract
Mechanical tree harvesting employs relatively large equipment. This video shows the use of a 'feller buncher' with with an operator approaches a tree, cuts it and then stacks it for removal from the site for further processing. Further processing can include chipping, cutting into saw logs or (for hard wood) cutting into firewood.
This kind of equipment has been in use at least since the early 1970's where it was (and likely still is) for large scale tree harvesting for the paper industry in Maine and New Brunswick.
