Risupeto

Risupeto (www.reformet.fi/risupeto/) prototype felling head cuts standing trees with two parallel disk sawblades and accumulates trees in an upright position to the collecting chamber using rotating collecting arms. The collecting arms are attached to the two vertical cylinders, which rotate at the same speed as the disk sawblades. When the collecting chamber of the felling head is full, the accumulated tree bunch is moved to the pile and dropped out. The unloading of the tree bunch is done by tilting the felling head downward and rotating the disk saws and collecting arms in the opposite direction from that during cutting.
