This increasing demand for furnishing products creates the need for harvesting trees, thereby fuelling the feller buncher market. Feller bunchers can cut and place trees in quick time, thereby making the process economical. They are available in a wide range of sizes and specifications, which make them usable in various conditions. However, the cutting head capacity and weight of feller limits the size of the tree that can be cut, which is a major restraining factor in the growth of feller buncher market.
