ABSTRACT:
A tree harvesting apparatus is provided with at least one movable pocket mounted on a vehicle for collecting cut trees. Each pocket extends parallel to the advancing direction of the apparatus and is movable in a horizontal plane, by means of a lever system, in a lateral direction. The pocket is arranged to move far enough horizontally to a position outside the profile of the apparatus, or, at least, to clear the outer edge of the wheels of the vehicle. In that position the trees can be dropped to the ground at the side of the apparatus.
