FIELD: forestry, in particular, utilization of five to seven year-old scrub forest and brush wood.
SUBSTANCE: method involves employing system of machines including brush cutter, branch wood pickup, breakage loader for loading of brush cut by brush cutter and gathered by branch wood pickup, and root-extractor for extracting roots and forming row of gathered wood to be left for molding. Brush cutter performs shuttling motions along longitudinal strips of felling area while turning at felling area boundaries to cut sprouts and form low rows of sprouts at both sides of brush cutter over the entire felling area. Branch wood pickup operates from distal or proximal end of felling area by performing the same shuttling motions along strips perpendicular to sprouts axes while turning at felling area boundaries to form high rows of sprouts. Boom-type loader loads rows of sprouts by means of open-side grapple into machine body for transportation to reprocessing site.
EFFECT: increased efficiency and provision for commercial application of sprouts.
