  • Patent number: 4232719
    Abstract: Apparatus for attachment to and propulsion by a tractor or cross country vehicle for the purpose of cutting, chopping and removing vegetation, particularly dense vegetation and small trees. The apparatus includes a pair of forward horizontal rotary cutters which rotate in opposite directions to sever vegetation and propel it through a pair of opposed guide panels onto a lateral conveyer. A pair of vertical augers disposed on opposite sides of the conveyer rotate in opposite directions to compact vegetation, especially large brush and small trees previously cut by the horizontal rotary cutters, onto the conveyer. A pair of vertical rotary cutters are positioned above the conveyer rearward of the vertical augers. The vertical rotary cutters rotate in opposite directions to further cut large brush or small trees and force them downward onto the conveyer.
