ABSTRACT:
A tree harvester is rotatable about three distinct axes to increase the efficiency of cutting and stacking trees. A cut tree is rotatable about a first axis by a rotation bearing and an associated hydraulic cylinder to move the tree in a sideways direction from the vertical plane. The cut tree is also rotatable about a second axis by moving a second rotation bearing to allow the jaws to grip the selected tree even when it is surrounded by adjacent trees. The frame is rotatable about a third substantially horizontal axis so that the cut tree may be tipped forward from the vertical plane to facilitate stacking. The tree harvester also includes an improved grab jaw having greater gripping force, and an improved saw bar designed to minimize chain jumping.
