Lorsqu'on parle de tête d'abattage à chaîne (coupante) au Canada, on pense généralement à des têtes d'abattage comportant une scie à chaîne, c'est-à-dire une chaîne qui circule autour d'un guide. En Europe toutefois, certaines machines de taille plus petite utilisent une chaîne sans guide, généralement tendue dans un cadre de sciage. Il semble d'ailleurs qu'une abatteuse à chaîne sans guide apparaîtra bientôt sur le marché canadien [commentaire datant de 1986]. 1, record 1, French, - t%C3%AAte%20d%27abattage%20%C3%A0%20cha%C3%AEne%20coupante
