Abstract
A method for a tree processing head to harvest a tree includes initiating a cutting operation on a tree, the cutting operation including powering a cutting chain of a saw bar driven by a motor; securing the tree; moving the saw bar via an actuator, the saw bar configured to be moved from a home position to a first position and to a second position, and the first position and the second position defining a cutting zone; detecting a hydraulic pressure of at least one of the motor and the actuator by a sensor; determining whether the second position is reached based upon a decrease of the hydraulic pressure by a controller; and transmitting a resting signal to the tree processing head to perform a resting operation when the controller determines that the second position is reached.
