Abstract
An apparatus for cutting, felling, and debranching trees is provided, having a felling head carried on a mobile crane, the felling head including (i) a device for grasping and holding a tree; (ii) a device for cutting and felling a tree; and (iii) a device for debranching a tree, the felling head being pivotable between a position in which the tree can be cut and felled, and a position in which the felled tree can be debranched; since the tree holding, tree cutting and felling, and tree debranching means are all operatively carried on a common support, the felling head, the size of the apparatus is reduced, conserving weight, with a resultant increased maneuverability.
