Felling on Hillsides

Felling trees on hillsides may mean the cutting unit is
exposed to dirt and duff on the uphill side of trees.

When felling on hilly terrain, ensure the harvester head is
positioned correctly (5), ensuring the saw bar tip does not
foul the ground on the high side of the tree.

5— Harvester head positioned

correctly
