CA 2242625

Described herein is a lightweight felling head for restraining, cutting and manipulating trees. The felling head comprises a holder that is connected to the manipulator arm, or crane, of the logging vehicle. At least partially housed in the holder is a motor capable of imparting rotational motion to a frame, the frame being preferably disposed with restraining arms for gripping trees as well as a saw blade for cutting trees. The felling head also comprises a bearing-like member to rotatably connect the frame to the holder. Preferably, the felling head further comprises a gearbox for augmenting the torque produced by the motor. The gearbox, which is preferably of planetary type, is at least partially housed in the frame of the felling head. Since the motor is mounted on the holder, the weight, size and complexity of the frame are reduced.
