Abstract
A rotor assembly for a tree cutting attachment for a skid loader. The rotor assembly is made up of a central driven shaft journaled for rotation in the frame of the tree cutting attachment. Circular endplates are disposed proximately on the opposed ends of the central driven shaft. Two diametrically opposed rows of regularly spaced-apart semicircular support plates extend between the circular end plates. The semicircular support plates are held in parallel-spaced relationship by a plurality of equally circumferentially spaced bars extending between the endplates. Swinging hammers are mounted for free pivotal movement in an alternating pattern between the support plates. Each hammer includes a main shaft extending between the support plates, a body member pivotally connected to the main shaft at the pivot axis parallel to and spaced from the central driven shaft and a generally flat tooth member extending radially outward from the body member.
