METHOD OF DEVELOPMENT FOREST AREAS OF OIL AND GAS PIPELINES AND LINE ROUTES Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A01G23/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: method includes felling, cutting and stacking of branches to the location of the proposed road lane, cross-cutting, loading and transporting of assortments. In the method the processed route width is divided into two bands. Feller - delimbing - bucking machine turns and moves to the second band, having passed a certain distance on the first band, providing a set of half of the pack volume of the timber truck equipped with manipulator. On the second band the feller - delimbing - bucking machine moving in the opposite direction after cutting trees puts them with the root part at full swinging radius of the manipulator in the direction of the first band. Having processed in such a manner the second band the feller - delimbing - bucking machine moves to the first band to the lane with the stacked branches, where it delimbs and bucks the trees felled on the second band, stacking the resulting assortments on the left and right from the lane in heaps near the route of the future forest road, and branches - on the band. The timber truck enters for example in reverse gear on the lane with the stacked branches to the end of the developed bands, and on the way back, stopping at the working position, it loads the assortments from the heaps located to the left and to the right from the lane to collect the full-car-load pack, followed by hauling the loaded assortments.

EFFECT: method provides reduction of labour costs and energy consumption in development of areas of oil and gas pipelines and line routes.
