ABSTRACT:
Described herein is a vehicle-mounted tree harvesting machine. The tree harvesting machine includes a shear which cuts the trees and is arranged so that its cutting motion tends to direct the trees to fall by gravity into a bunching means in alignment with the shear. Once in the bunching means the cut trees are held there by a cantilevered bar. The harvesting vehicle then can move from cutting site to cutting site dragging the cut trees behind it. When the bunching means is full the cantilevered bar can be opened and the vehicle moved forward leaving the cut trees behind in a neat bunch.
