A tree felling head for mounting to a tree-cutting carrier, the tree felling head comprising:
- A bottom saw housing defining a saw-receiving cavity and comprising a peripheral border at least partially bordering the saw-receiving cavity;
- and
- An excavating assembly comprising a housing-mounting portion fixedly secured to a rear portion of the bottom saw housing and a ground-digging portion extending outwardly past the peripheral border at least along a section thereof.
A tree felling head for mounting to a tree-cutting carrier, the tree felling head comprising:
- A substantially vertically extending frame having a longitudinal axis;
- A bottom saw housing fixedly mounted to a lower end of the frame, the bottom saw housing defining a saw-receiving cavity and comprising a peripheral border at least partially bordering the saw-receiving cavity;
- and
- An excavating assembly mounted to a rear portion of the bottom saw housing and comprising a ground-digging portion;
- Wherein considered in a plane substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the frame, the ground-digging portion extends outwardly past the peripheral border of the bottom saw housing and the frame.
A tree felling head for mounting to a tree-cutting carrier, the tree felling head comprising:
- A substantially vertically extending frame;
- At least one tree-manipulating arm mounted to the frame and extending forwardly therefrom;
- A bottom saw housing mounted to a lower end of the frame, the bottom saw housing defining a saw-receiving cavity and comprising a peripheral side wall forming a peripheral border at least partially bordering the saw-receiving cavity;
- A saw blade disk mounted to the lower end of the frame and at least partially received within the saw-receiving cavity of the bottom saw housing;
- A lower blade guard mounted to a lower portion of the peripheral side wall of the bottom saw housing and substantially surrounding the saw blade disk and extending outwardly past a front-end portion of the saw blade disk;
- and
- An excavating assembly comprising a housing-mounting portion fixedly secured to a rear portion of the bottom saw housing and a ground-digging portion extending outwardly past the peripheral border at least along a section thereof.
