Buying Guide to Feller Bunchers

 

In order to maximize efficiency in your logging operation, it’s essential that you have the right pieces of equipment and tools on hand. One of the most essential tools for any logging operation is a feller buncher, which helps to streamline harvesting. 

 

Cascade Trader, Inc., located in Chehalis, Washington, is proud to be your Evergreen State feller buncher dealer. Here are some tips for buying a feller buncher to help you get the right piece of equipment for your logging needs.

 

Why Buy One?

 

You may be wondering why, exactly, you need a feller buncher on your worksite. If you’re new to the logging industry, it’s possible you haven’t heard of it before. A feller buncher is a type of harvesting machine that is designed for logging. Its holding mechanisms move stems to the ground, then its cutting mechanisms trim the stems. These machines do not process felled trees; they just cut and move them.

 

Feller bunchers get their name from combining the term for someone who cuts trees, feller, and the term for the process of skidding and assembling trees, bunching. Some are capable of felling more than one stem at a time, which can be beneficial for larger operations. Feller bunchers increase the efficiency of logging operations and make it easier to get your job done quickly and expediently.

 

Tracked or Wheeled?

 

Narrowing down your choices when it comes to buying a feller buncher means determining what your particular worksite needs are. A major difference between models is whether they are tracked or wheeled. 

 

If you work over sloping terrain and require more traction, then a tracked feller buncher is the best option, as it will provide increased stability. Wheeled feller bunchers are faster and easier to maneuver, provided your terrain is relatively smooth. So the option you choose will have a lot to do with the layout of the land you work on.
 

Additional Considerations

 

You should ensure that the size of your equipment corresponds with the size of the trees you’re felling. You’ll also want to think about technological features that may improve efficiency. If you’re curious about what size and what types of features you should get on your feller buncher, ask the staff here at Cascade Trader, Inc., so that we can direct you to a machine that will work for your needs.
