Apparatus for removing branches from and for crosscutting treetrunks

摘要

The apparatus for removing branches from and for crosscutting treetrunks comprises a frame, which is adapted to be suspended from a lifting tackle and is provided with grippers for engaging the treetrunk from below, with a longitudinal feeding device for moving the treetrunk in its longitudinal direction, with branch-removing tools, which are spaced around the treetrunk, and with a crosscutting tool, which is movable transversely to the direction of the longitudinal feed movement and preferably consists of a circular saw. In order to increase in a simple manner the field of application of the crosscutting tool, the frame is provided not only with the longitudinal feeding device but also with a rotating device for a rotary feeding of the treetrunk.
