Production rates and skidding cost of the FMC model 210 CA high-speed skidder

Creator:

Ohmstede, Robert H.

Abstract:

In recent years, inflation and a growing concern for soil compaction and environmental damage have affected both the forest manager and the logger. Balloons, helicopters, and skylines have been used to harvest timber and the results have been promising (Dykstra, 1975, 1976). However, the high cost of using these aerial...

Yarding delays for advanced logging systems

Creator:

Dykstra, Dennis P. and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory

Abstract:

Yarding delays add significantly to the time and cost required to obtain a given quantity of timber. In this study, they increased total yarding time by as much as 28 percent. As yarding system complexity increases, the frequency of delays can also be expected to increase. For one balloon yarding...
