  • Page 34: Operation: Thinning Techniques

    Operation: Thinning Techniques Plantation Out Row Cut-to-Length at Stump When felling while thinning, place the harvester head approximately two metres (seven feet) up the tree, and then feed down the stem. This will facilitate delimbing, and create a clear area for the harvester head to grip when felling.

    Operation: Special Techniques Use of Double Cuts NOTE: Poor tree form encountered during felling, delimbing, and processing, makes it necessary to use special techniques to be able to safely handle stems with minimal damage to the carrier. The use of double cuts allows the tree to fall freely, while minimizing butt damage.

  • Page 40: Quarter Cutting

    Operation: Special Techniques Quarter Cutting This method is used on various occasions to gain better control when felling. Use a saw cut, placed at the base of the tree in the direction of the fall, approximately a quarter of the diameter into the tree. The harvester head is then moved to the back of the tree ready for falling.

  • Page 41: Felling On Hillsides

    Operation: Special Techniques 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.
