METHOD OF PROCESSING AND CUTTING TREES INTO SECTIONS BY MEANS OF FELLING-BUNCHING MACHINE Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: forestry, in particular, processing of individual trees, may be used for cleaning cutting in average aged and ripening stand.

SUBSTANCE: method involves processing tree by initially cutting branches from the bottom to the top of tree over trunk up to crown part; upon removal of crown part, leaving trunk for several months to provide for natural drying of tree trunk. Method allows versatility of felling-bunching machine with gripping-and-cutting boom to be increased and operational capabilities of machine to be widened owing to adaptation to different kinds of tree and stand care processes. It means that single machine may be used for tree clear or selection felling processes, as well as for caring of crown of individual trees. Method may be effectively used for caring of trees in parks, gardens and preservation plots by means of existing felling-bundling machines furnished with small-sized gripping-cutting booms having maximal predetermined weight and load capacity.

EFFECT: increased efficiency and wider operational capabilities.
