DELIMBING-BUCKING TRANSPORTATION MACHINE Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: harvesting equipment used in forestry for performing stand care works.

SUBSTANCE: delimbing-bucking transportation machine consists of tandem including running chassis (of wheel-type tractor or caterpillar tractor) and carrier hydraulic manipulator fixed on side members of running chassis, on immovable part of column and equipped with clam. Delimbing-pulling type bucking processor is secured on single-axis or multiple-axis load-bearing platform. Said processor is connected to hydraulic system through three-position valve for switching-on of hydraulic motor in order to provide rotation of chain bar cutting chain and feeding of working fluid for actuation of hydraulic motor which provides rotation of pulling rollers. Clamping levers with blades and pulling rollers are longitudinally interconnected through tie-rods by means of threaded couplings. Delimbing-bucking machine of such construction allows volume of tree harvesting including short wood and plank timber to be increased and number of transportation and handling operations to be reduced.

EFFECT: increased efficiency in environmental harvesting and stocking of raw wood material, elimination of manual labor, reduced loss of young growth and undersized trees to thereby intensify reproduction of forest resources and reduce environmental damage.
