Why You Need a Feller Buncher at Your Logging Site
First and foremost, for those of you who are new to the logging industry, a feller buncher is a type of harvesting equipment specifically designed for logging. The holding mechanisms can hold and move the stems to the ground, while the cutting mechanisms are used to actually cut the stems so they can be moved around. It’s important to note that these machines don’t necessarily have the ability to process felled trees, only cut and move them. They get their name from the traditional word for someone who cuts trees (feller) and the process of skidding and assembling two or more trees (bunching). Some machines are designed to fell more than one stem at a time, depending on how big your operation is.
Tracked or Wheeled
There are a number of ways you can narrow down your options, although everything is going to go back to what your worksite needs. For example, one of the biggest differences between models is whether they operate on tracks or wheels. Tracked feller bunchers are an excellent choice when you need more traction. They’re great for slopes and are sometimes more stable, depending on the terrain.Wheeled feller bunchers are often more maneuverable and faster, which can be particularly helpful if you don’t have terrain concerns to think about. Just make sure the tires themselves are suited for the kind of off-roading you’ll need to do.
Other Important Considerations
There are some other major considerations you’ll want to think about when you’re looking at your options, such as making sure the equipment is suited to the size of the trees you’re working with.
