As mentioned earlier, auger bending or breakage usually results from lifting or twisting the head before the tree being cut is fully severed (M.P. Folkema, The Drott Rotary Cutter Feller Buncher: Longer-Term Data Collection from two Operations, June 1979, p. 16).

CONT

[The] feller-buncher with rotary cutter will illustrate how shattering, splitting, crushing and compression damage can be eliminated from mechanical felling (Canadian Forest Industries, March 1979, p. 71).

DEF

Outil de coupe vrillé, tournant à haute vitesse, comportant plusieurs arêtes tranchantes régulièrement disposées autour de son axe et qui, installé à la partie inférieure d'une tête d'abattage, se déplace latéralement d'un côté à l'autre de l'arbre en creusant le trait d'abattage.

Il s'agit ici véritablement d'une fraise, et non d'un couteau rotatif, ce dernier terme s'appliquant plutôt à une lame qui tourne, comme dans certaines ébrancheuses.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Drainage and Irrigation (Agric.)
  • Tillage Operations (Agriculture)
CONT

Under certain soil conditions, and in land seeded to grass, this type of corrugator may not perform satisfactorily. Then it may be necessary to use a larger, heavier corrugating machine (...) that digs the soil out of the furrow by means of rotary cutters and spreads it out between the furrows.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Drainage et irrigation (Agriculture)
  • Travaux du sol (Agriculture)
CONT

Ce type de socs peut ne pas donner satisfaction en certaines conditions de sol et en terrains engazonnés. Il peut alors s'avérer nécessaire d'utiliser des instruments à socs plus lourds (...) qui sortent le sol de la rigole au moyen de roues tranchantes et l'épandent entre les rigoles.
