Abstract
A mobile tree removing apparatus includes an elongate extensible and retractable boom structure mounted on a vehicle such as a truck. A cutting device is mounted on the outer end of the boom structure and includes a housing having a plurality of cutting members positioned therein. Adjacent cutting members cooperate with each other to cut an entire standing tree including the trunk and limbs thereof into chips. The chips are impelled through a conduit connected to the housing by action of a vacuum pump mounted on a truck.
