Abstract
A brief description is given of a prototype harvester, developed by the National Research Council of Canada for harvesting short-rotation energy plantations, such as 5-yr-old or less hybrid poplar. Trees of diameter 12-20 cm are felled with 2 horizontal circular saws and then bunched (up to 6 trees) by 2 accumulators fixed to the front of the machine.
