ABSTRACT:
A delimber suitable for mounting on a logging skidder. The delimber comprises a series of delimbing/clamping elements and hydraulic actuators for moving the delimbing/clamping elements between an open and a closed position. Each of the delimbing elements comprises a clamping surface and a cutting edge. In the closed position, the delimbing elements hold a bunch of trees and the cutting edges penetrate the trees. Moving the delimber along the trees causes the cutting edges to cut the limbs off the trunks. In another aspect, the delimber includes a tilt feature for topping the trees.
