Overview

ISO 13862:2022 - "Machinery for forestry - Feller-bunchers - Terms, definitions and commercial specifications" is an international standard that establishes a common vocabulary and a framework for specifying the main dimensions and commercial data of feller-bunchers. Applicable to both tracked and wheeled feller-bunchers, this second edition updates terminology, defines key measurements, and lists the required information manufacturers and suppliers should provide when identifying and describing machines.

Key topics and technical requirements

The standard focuses on clear, unambiguous terms and definitions and on a prescribed set of commercial specifications. Major topics include:

Core terminology
- Definition of feller-buncher and related forestry machinery terms.
- Concepts such as ground reference plane (GRP) and felling head vertical tree centreline.
Masses
- Normal operating mass (machine fully serviced with a 75 kg operator).
- Maximum operating mass and axle load (for wheeled machines).
Main machine dimensions
- Total frame length, overall length, wheelbase, overall height, overall width, tread, ground clearance, tail swing radius, clearance circle, etc.
- Articulation and tilt measures: angle of articulation, longitudinal and side tilt of the upper structure.
Felling head dimensions and performance
- Minimum stump height, machine cutting depth, maximum cutting height.
- Cutting distances, boom rotation, maximum tree diameter the head is designed to cut.
Required information
- Annexed list specifying which dimensions and features manufacturers should supply (tire size, ply rating, inflation pressure, hydro-inflation options, asymmetrical dimensions).

Note: Annex A includes illustrative figures and examples; not all terms apply to every machine - manufacturers supply the relevant subset.

Applications

ISO 13862:2022 is practical for:

Manufacturers and designers - to standardize technical data sheets and ensure consistent dimensional definitions.
Equipment specifiers and purchasers - to compare models objectively on dimensions, capacities, and reach.
Dealers and fleet managers - for procurement, transport planning, and site access clearance checks.
Regulators and certification bodies - to reference consistent terminology in compliance and documentation.
Technical writers and product catalogues - to present clear, standardized machine specifications.

Related standards

ISO 6814:2009 (Machinery for forestry - Mobile and self-propelled machinery - Terms, definitions and classification) is cited in the bibliography and complements ISO 13862 by broader classification and terminology.

Keywords: ISO 13862:2022, feller-bunchers, forestry machinery, terms and definitions, commercial specifications, machine dimensions, felling head, operating mass.
