Abstract
A method of felling and processing trees with a machine with a boom swingable about a vertical axis at the front end of the machine. The boom is extended in front of the machine and a tree is gripped and cut. The boom is swung while holding the tree vertical to a rearwards position, where the tree is lowered with the top to the rear. The root end is introduced into the rear-facing feed end of a processing unit on the machine. During processing, the tree is fed in the direction towards the front end of the machine.
