Abstract:

Abstract The time efficiency and principles of ergonomics related to timber skidding are based on the time consumption per work cycle as well as on the time consumption per individual work operations. Regarding the demands on the environmental requirements and ever increasing cost of work, it is necessary to objectively evaluate the inevitable time consumption required for timber skidding using all technologies. The paper summarised the results of time studies for skidder technologies. The time study compares the time consumption and productivity of cable skidders and cable-grapple skidders, w

Abstract:

The use of forestry vehicles in mechanised harvesting systems is still the most effective way of timber procurement, and forestry vehicles need to have high mobility to face various terrain conditions. This research gives boundaries of planning timber extraction on sloped terrain with a cable skidder, considering terrain parameters (slope, direction of skidding, cone index), vehicle technical characteristics and load size (5 different loads) relying on sustainability and eco-efficiency. Skidder mobility model was based on connecting two systems: vehicle-terrain (load distribution) and wheel-so

Abstract:

The paper deals with the analysis of the fuel consumption of skidders during timber extraction from thinning of even-aged beech forest on mountain terrain. Fuel consumption research was conducted on the Ecotrac 140V cable skidder over 8 working days at the same worksite during real timber extraction work. The worksite was organized so that the empty skidder traveled uphill, and when loaded, it moved downhill. The skidder was equipped with measuring devices for collecting data from sensors, the motor, and data transfer. The key parameters measured include total fuel consumption (mL) and skidder

Abstract:

There has been a growing awareness of the need for sustainable forest management among forest engineers during the last decades. The selection of the best harvesting system for logging operations plays a fundamental role in this effort. Nowadays, in the decision-making process, forest engineers rely on their own experience, and it is to be expected that their evaluation of the level of appropriateness may be biased. There may be a potential solution to this problem in the implementation of AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) in the GIS (Geographic Information System) environment. The application

Abstract:

Abstract Three stands were harvested by either clearcut, shelterwood, or single-tree selection methods. The single-tree selection method consisted of a light thinning in an even-aged stand as the initial basal area reduction cut required to convert the stand to uneven-aged structure. The contractor used two skidders (one grapple, one choker) and production chain saws to harvest all three tracts. Harvested sites were all similar in slope (10-15%), average dbh (12-14 in.), and preharvest number of stems by dbh. In the felling study, fell, walk, and limb-top time were all greater for the single-t

Abstract:

Abstract The majority of timber harvests on steep terrain in the Appalachian region use ground-based skidding with bladed skid trails. Skid trails commonly occupy approximately 10% of harvest sites and are potentially erosive areas. Cable yarding systems are less commonly used in the Appalachian region, yet they have been found in other regions to cause less erosion than ground-based skidding on steep terrain. The goal of this study was to compare potential soil erosion losses from cable yarding and conventional skidding with bladed trails in the steep Appalachian Plateau region. Potential soi

Abstract:

Examination of the technical and economic dimensions of skidding operations is imperative for sustainable forest management, offering invaluable insights crucial for the formulation of sustainable forestry strategies. In many countries, the shift from modified agricultural machinery to purpose-built forest machinery has become apparent in forest operations. However, this transition often accompanies a reduction in logging crew size, raising new questions about productivity, costs, and ergonomics of the introduced harvesting systems. This study investigates two skidding systems utilizing the ca

Abstract:

Planning of forest harvesting operations is one of the key elements of successful forest management. The integration of modern tools and traditional forestry procedures is something that must be done in contemporary forestry. This research investigated the use of multicriteria decision support (AHP) and GIS in choosing the optimal harvesting system for predominantly selection cutting forest management on the example of two Forest Management Units (FMU). Results showed that AHP could be easily integrated into GIS using the extAHP tool and its results could be of help, along with other input dat

Abstract:

Abstract Group selection is a regeneration harvest method that is being promoted by the USDA Forest Service as an alternative to clearcutting. In a group selection cut, "groups" of trees are marked and harvested in small patches dispersed in a mosaic pattern throughout the timber stand. Group selection has the potential to increase harvesting cost as compared to traditional clearcutting. Three logging systems, a skyline yarder system, a feller-buncher/cable skidder system, and a chainsaw felling/cable skidder system were studied while logging group selection timber sales in the Jefferson Natio

Abstract:

Forest operations in the Mediterranean basin are still largely based on lowly mechanized systems. In this context, hauling is generally performed with equipment deploying steel cables, such as winches on farm tractors or skidders. In the last decades, several efforts focused on the substitution of steel cables with synthetic rope to improve safety, comfort and productivity. Despite the expected benefits, these efforts were generally frustrated due to the higher cost and lower duration of synthetic cables. These are relevant constraints, particularly for Mediterranean forest companies, which fe

Abstract:

An analysis of the existing literature on the issue of damage to regeneration caused by timber harvesting, revealed that a great majority of results reported in those publications was obtained through laborious and time-consuming field research conducted in two stages. Field research methods for gathering data, employed by various authors, differed in terms of the manner of establishing trial plots, the accuracy of counting and evaluating the number of saplings growing on the investigated sites, classification systems used for distinguishing particular groups of regeneration based on quantitat
