Abstract
A mobile tree delimber having a flail type delimber movably mounted thereon and controllably raised and lowered by sensing means automatically to maintain a selected relative position between the flail delimber unit and the tree or group of trees being processed thereby maximizing impact forces of the flail members on the limbs being removed. A further delimber consists of a mobile vehicle having two or more flail type delimber units individually movably mounted thereon in side-by-side relation and each supported for movement in a vertical plane and means for raising and lowering the respective flail delimber units independent of one another.
