Abstract

A machine for limbing trees arranged in bundles including two alternatingly cooperating carriers (8, 9), at least one carrier (8) including a number of rotatable, suitably cylindrical, limbing means (10), means being associated to the carriers to transfer the separate bundle of trees from one carrier to another and vice versa, thus loosening the bundle in order to revolve the trees and successively bring unlimbered parts of the trees into contact with said limbing means (10).
