ABSTRACT:
A balancing skid for a tree harvesting machine, which balancing skid is designed to mount adjacent to the cutting assembly beneath the cutting frame of the tree harvesting machine and spaced from the existing blade skid to balance the cutting assembly horizontally and facilitate more accurate and cleaner horizontal cuts of the trees being harvested, with minimum blade warp and tooth damage. The balancing skid includes a steel skid plate characterized by a substantially horizontal plate base and a plate skid extending upwardly from one end of the base plate in angular relationship and terminating in a skid nose. The plate base and plate skid are welded to a base connector and a skid connector, respectively, and the base connector and skid connectors are, in turn, welded to the cutting frame or undercarriage of the tree harvesting machine to securely mount the skid plate on the tree harvesting machine.
