A feller buncher is a motorized vehicle with an attachment used in logging. This dual-function machine — that both cuts down trees (feller) and skids and assembles two or more trees (buncher) — has reputedly modernized logging practices, potentially falling and bunching as many as 200 trees per hour. Feller bunchers are able to replace the work done by lumberjacks, typically doing the work of 10 to 15 men.
