Abstract
A tree harvesting device which continuously severs and collects trees in a motion which is not governed by the motion of the carrier vehicle is described. The carrier vehicle moves from tree to tree in a continuous motion while the severing mechanism severs each tree in turn and then loads the cut trees into containment means within the harvester. Once the harvester is fully loaded, the containment mechanism releases and the harvester deposits the load in a bunched pile ready for subsequent handling and processing.
