A method at felling and processing of trees at multiprocess machines having a processng unit and a felling means comprising a main girder pivotally arranged at the crane boom of the felling machine and grapple means arranged at the ends thereof, the lower grapple means thereof located closest to the root at felling comprising a saw or a tongue, the tree trunk being grappled by the grapple means with the main girder substantially parallel to the trunk and being cut by the saw or tongue. At such a method the cut tree (12) is lifted in an upright position, after which it is felled to a substantially horizontal position by the aid of the felling means (2). The lower grapple means (4) is thereafter opened and the felling means (2) is swiveled relative to the crane 4 boom (1) about a point (9) located between the grapple means (4, 6) to a substantially vertical position, resulting in that the tree (12) performs a forced horizontal movement with its root end first so as to be fed into the processing unit. The other grapple means (6) is thereafter opened. |
