ABSTRACT:
An improvement to a delimber system having a delimbing unit including cutting elements, for cutting limbs extending from a tree trunk, and a tree trunk loader mechanism, for pulling the tree trunk of a tree to be delimbed through the delimbing unit such that the limbs extending from the tree trunk are severed from the tree trunk by the cutting elements. The improvement includes adding a base frame; a slide carriage mounted between the base frame and the delimbing unit such that the delimbing unit is slidable with respect to the base frame between a forward delimber position toward the tree trunk loader mechanism and a rearward delimber position away from the tree trunk loader mechanism; and an impact assembly mounted functionally between the base frame and the delimbing unit, the impact assembly including a force generating mechanism for generating a force transmitted between the base frame and the delimber unit to force the delimber unit into the rearward delimber position.
