L'ébrancheuse appelée en anglais «bunch limber» a souvent été nommée ébrancheuse par gerbe ou ébrancheuse-gerbeuse en français; ces appellations ne sont pas appropriées puisqu'en fait cette ébrancheuse est construite à peu près selon le même principe que les autres ébrancheuses simples. Même si elle peut prendre 4 ou 5 arbres de diamètre moyen à la fois, l'ébranchage effectué est alors peu satisfaisant. Elle se rapproche davantage d’une ébrancheuse à berceau collecteur à laquelle on aurait ajouté une flèche d’alimentation articulée. 1, record 3, French, - %C3%A9brancheuse%20%C3%A0%20fl%C3%A8che
