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. Folkema et R. Legault, Evaluation of the Logging Development Corporation Processing Head, Model 421, January 1976, p. 3). 1, record 1, English, - felling%20shear

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 1, 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 1, French, - cisaille%20d%27abattage
