A feller buncher is a motorized vehicle with an attachment used in logging. This dual-function machine — that both cuts down trees (feller) and skids and assembles two or more trees (buncher) — has reputedly modernized logging practices, potentially falling and bunching as many as 200 trees per hour. Feller bunchers are able to replace the work done by lumberjacks, typically doing the work of 10 to 15 men.
A feller buncher consists of a tracked or wheeled undercarriage, a power plant, an operator’s cab and a grabbing apparatus. After a cutting mechanism severs the tree, the grabbing apparatus lifts it up and places it on a skidder for further processing. The first feller buncher was developed in the 1960s. Today they are manufactured by Barko, Caterpillar, John Deere, Komatsu, Prentice, Timbco and others.
Offering an improved operator experience through new features and enhancements, John Deere debuts its L-III wheeled feller buncher machines to forestry customers.
Expanding the portfolio of aftermarket forestry saw teeth options for its customers, John Deere introduced the one-piece hardened beaver saw tooth for John Deere wheeled and tracked feller bunchers.
John Deere has introduced new options and updates to the M-Series tracked feller bunchers, harvesters, and shovel logger.
