La tête d'abattage à bras directeur peut être montée sur les bras de relevage d'une abatteuse de type chargeuse, ou encore en bout de flèche. Elle se caractérise par le fait qu'elle ne soulève jamais les arbres; elle demeure donc relativement légère même si elle doit surtout abattre de très gros arbres. Son (ses) bras de préhension lui permet(tent) de prendre appui sur la souche. 1, record 1, French, - t%C3%AAte%20d%27abattage%20%C3%A0%20bras%20directeur
