<p>A tree delimbing apparatus comprising a carrier with a base on which are mounted a tree gripping unit and an articulated mast. The mast carries a delimbing unit preferably of the floatting type, which comprises a support pivotably mounted about a central axis perpendicular to the vertical plane in which extends the mast, and at least two delimbing members operatively mounted under the support. A plurality of actuators are provided for moving the mast relative to the base and for moving the delimbing unit away from the gripping unit. Advantageously, the delimbing unit may be used for grasping a felled tree and positioning it in the apparatus before delimbing it.</p> |
