Zusammenfassung:An articulated, four-wheel drive tree harvesting machine includes a front frame section upon which a felling boom assembly, a delimbing assembly and a feed assembly are mounted. The felling boom assembly is operable for severing a tree and lowering the same into a generally horizontal disposition from where the trunk of the tree may be released for engagement by feed rolls of the feed assembly and for encirclement by blades of the delimbing assembly. Once a tree is released by the felling boom assembly, the feed rolls may be operated to draw the tree trunk through the delimbing blades while the felling boom may be operated to sever and position a second tree. The tree harvesting machine has the capability to bunch at least three severed and delimbed trees.
