Watching the videos, of the harvester head, the felling head, and the cutting head, I conclude that they are all the same thing. Let me add "cutting head" to one of my answers.
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Jun 24, 2014:
Cutting head sounds good given the word ścinkowa. However, this head also does more than just cut. So you have the choice of felling (which involves cutting) or harvesting, which is a polite way to say "cut the tree."
Rębak is a shredder, so we have an overlap of functions here.
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Jun 24, 2014:
"Forwarder" carries felled logs.

OK. Plan B. I think many of these are the same thing under different name.

But these willows have thin branches.
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Jun 22, 2014:
From what I see, the head does several things: it cuts the tree, thereby felling it (laying it horizontally), debarks it, and cuts it in pieces. My technical dictionary says a "felling head." Felling is a tree-logging term.

harvester head

Forest harvesters were mainly developed in Sweden and Finland and today do practically all of the commercial felling in these countries. The first fully mobile timber "harvester", the PIKA model 75, was introduced in 1973[1] by Finnish systems engineer Sakari Pinomäki and his company PIKA Forest Machines. The first single grip harvester head was introduced in the early 1980s by Swedish company SP Maskiner. Their use has become widespread throughout the rest of Northern Europe, particularly in the harvesting of plantation forests.

An extensible, articulated boom, similar to that on an excavator, reaches out from the vehicle to carry the harvester head. Some harvesters are adaptations of excavators with a new harvester head, while others are purpose-built vehicles.
