The felling and processing (= harvesting) of
short logs can also be executed in one step. Without a buffer to interrupt the
process, the complete tree is felled, branches are removed, and the tree is
topped and cross-cut.
This process can be done motor-manually with a
chainsaw or mechanically with a harvester. If the harvesting takes place
motor-manually, the logs remain in the stand near the stump (buffer 10 to 13).
If the harvesting is done mechanically, the stem is lifted onto the trail
during the process (buffer 10 to 23).
