  • Automated tree cutting assembly
    Patent number: 10021840
    Abstract: An automated tree cutting assembly includes a collar that may be positioned around a tree. A plurality of climbing units is movably coupled to the collar. The climbing units frictionally engage the tree thereby facilitating each of the climbing units to urge the collar around and up the tree. Each of the climbing units is positionable at selected angle with respect to the collar. Thus, each of the climbing unit units may urge the collar to travel in a spiral along the tree thereby facilitating the collar to climb upwardly and downwardly along the tree. A cutting unit is movably coupled to the collar to cut branches from the tree when the collar is positioned around the tree.
