ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for processing elongate brush cuttings, such as those resulting from the pruning of almond trees. The method comprises collecting the cuttings, loading them into the compaction chamber of a packer, moving a plunger longitudinally through the chamber to compress the cuttings and force them into an orientation extending generally normal to the direction of plunger travel, and discharging the cuttings from one end of the chamber while maintaining said orientation. The apparatus comprises a wheel supported chassis which carries a transfer packer and a crane supported grapple for loading cuttings into the packer. The packer has an open topped hopper into which the cuttings are charged. The plunger moves through the hopper to compress cuttings received therein and force said cuttings through a discharge opening in one side of the hopper.
