ABSTRACT:
A tree felling apparatus mountable to a vehicle includes a frame defining an opening for receiving a tree and a chain saw mounted for linear movement across the opening for felling the tree. One side of the opening is defined by an anvil having a sharpened edge for increasingly engaging the tree as the frame is advanced to receive the tree within the opening. The sharpened edge also extends sufficiently so that it overlaps the leading edge of the chain saw as the saw completes its cut. The anvil thus serves as a stationary, stable pivot point for the falling tree and protects the underlying chain from the force of the falling tree. Wedges are spaced across the saw bar of the chain saw for directionally felling the tree.
