摘要： At the site where trees are freshly felled, the disclosed apparatus by means of a boom arm and claw, pulls the merchantable portions of one or more tree stems through a cutting head assembly. The tree stems are topped by a topping saw removing their unmerchantable tops. The merchantable portion of the tree stems fall by gravity into a guide through and are pushed through a flail mechanism which completely removes the smaller supple limbs and remaining bark missed by the cutter head assembly. The merchantable tree stems are then extracted by the boom arm from the flail mechanism and stacked or loaded on a truck to be taken to a lumber mill. Single tree stems of large diameter, multiple smaller diameter tree stems, and tree stems of hardwood or softwood may be processed by the disclosed invention. The freshly felled tree stems are grasped by the boom arm claw and put through the disclosed apparatus without letting go. This yields an efficient and quick processing method. The protection covering of the flail mechanism provides a safer environment for workers and a more efficient debarking and delimbing device which renders a tree stem ready for processing at a lumber mill.

摘要翻译： 在树木被新鲜砍伐的地方，所公开的装置借助于悬臂臂和爪，将一个或多个树根的可销售部分拉过切割头组件。 树茎顶部是顶部的锯，去除了他们不可调的顶部。 树的可销售部分通过重力下降到引导件中，并被推过通过一个肛门机构，该机构完全移除较小的柔软的肢体和由刀头组件遗漏的剩余树皮。 然后将可销售的树茎从吊臂机构从吊臂机构中取出并叠放或装载在卡车上，以送到木材加工厂。 所公开的发明可以处理大直径，多个较小直径的树茎和硬木或软木的树茎的单个树茎。 新鲜砍伐的树茎被吊臂爪抓住，放在公开的装置上，不放手。 这产生了一种高效快速的处理方法。 连枷机构的保护覆盖层为工人提供了一个更安全的环境，并提供了一个更有效的剥皮和分离装置，使树茎准备好在木材加工厂进行加工。
