ABSTRACT:
A tree harvesting apparatus includes a vehicle driven by an engine with first and second arm members pivotally supported on the vehicle and normally biased to a first position defining an open pocket for receiving a standing tree. Cutter means associated with the arm members sever the standing tree as the vehicle is being moved along the ground. The tree harvesting apparatus also has an accumulator means for accumulating the severed trees which in one embodiment includes a pair of cradles pivoted on the vehicle frame so that the trees can be dumped to either side of the vehicle.
