    Creator:
    Keller, Robert Richard
    Abstract:
    This study compares the production rates and yarding costs of prebunching with a low investment skyline yarder and swinging with a larger skyline yarder to full-cycle thinning with the larger yarder The study analyzes two slackpulling techniques (manual and haulback assisted) and two carriages (a multi-span carriage and a clamping...
