ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for felling and bunching trees is provided by means of a support mounted on a vehicle and a carriage mounted for movement along the support in a horizontal direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of movement of the vehicle. The carriage mounts a tree cutting mechanism and a grapple that grips the tree while it is being cut by the cut off mechanism. After the tree is cut the carriage is moved along the support to one end thereof and the grapple moved to a depositing position and releases the cut tree to the side of the path of travel of the vehicle. The present invention permits the vehicle to simply move backwards and forwards along a path to cut a swath through the trees while piling the cut trees immediately adjacent to but to one side of the swath cut by the equipment.
