The extent of shear damage compares favourably with the results from studies conducted on other harvesting machines equipped with one-half inch thick, double bladed, scissor type shears(M. P.

L'abattage peut être réalisé de façon manuelle, à l'aide d'une scie à chaîne, ou à l'aide d'une machine d'abattage pour laquelle l'outil de coupe le mieux adapté semble bien être la cisaille d'abattage (Chaînes mécanisées pour l'exploitation des taillis, dans : Courrier de l'exploitant et du scieur, no 33, 2e trimestre 1979, p. 4). 1, record 5, French, - cisaille%20d%27abattage

On rencontre parfois en anglais les termes tree shear et butt shear qui s'opposent à log shear. Le français fera la distinction entre cisaille d'abattage (pour tree shear/butt shear) et cisaille de tronçonnage (pour log shear) et non pas cisaille à arbres ou cisaille à billes. 1, record 5, French, - cisaille%20d%27abattage

Effective use of the KFF's accumulator head permits the harvesting of small-timber stands, which may be high on fibre but uneconomical to harvest by conventional methods(E.
