Felling Felling: Severing the tree from the stump is referred to as felling. Historically this was carried out with an axe or bow-saw. The development of the chainsaw increased the efficiency for a person to fell a tree (also called motor-manual felling), and this method is still the dominant felling method in steeper terrain. On rolling or flat terrain a feller-buncher or a machine with a harvesting head is the most cost-effective method of putting trees on the ground (called mechanized felling).
