Fall and Delimb
To improve delimbing, it is beneficial to feed the tree
through while felling, since the weight of the tree
facilitates this operation.
While the tree is falling, feed rollers can be activated,
which allows the tree to pass through the harvester
head and delimb unit. Once the feed rollers are
activated, the delimb arms will automatically go into soft
clamp mode, allowing the tree to pass through the
harvester head.
Ensure the harvester head is kept to a minimum height
in this operation to reduce the impact of the falling tree
on the harvester head. To improve delimbing
performance, rotate into the feed direction.
Owing to variations in tree weight, an operator must be
aware of the manufacturer’s specifications in regard to
the ability of the carrier to handle the tree being
processed safely.
