  • Investigation of Feller-Buncher Performance Using Weibull Distribution

    Investigation of Feller-Buncher Performance Using Weibull Distribution

    Article Investigation of Feller-Buncher Performance Using Weibull Distribution Ebru Bilici Forestry Department, Dereli Vocational School, Giresun University, Giresun 28950, Turkey; [email protected] Abstract: With the advancement of technology in forestry, the utilization of advanced machines in forest operations has been increasing in the last decades. Due to their high operating costs, it is crucial to select the right machinery, which is mostly done by using productivity analysis. In this study, a productivity estimation model was developed in order to determine the timber volume cut per unit time for a feller-buncher. The Weibull distribution method was used to develop the productivity model. In the study, the model of the theoretical (estimated) volume distributions obtained with the Weibull probability density function was generated. It was found that the c value was 1.96 and the b value was 0.58 (i.e., b is the scale parameter, and c is the shape parameter). The model indicated that the frequency of the volume data had moved away from 0 as the shape parameter of the Weibull distribution increased. Thus, it was revealed that the shape parameter gives preliminary information about the distribution of the volume frequency. The consistency of the measured timber volume with the estimated timber volume strongly indicated that this approach can be effectively used by decision makers as a key tool to predict the productivity of a feller-buncher used in harvesting operations.

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-soil (skidder traction performance) with two mobility parameters: (1) maximal slope during uphill timber extraction by a cable skidder based on its traction performance (gradeability), and (2) maximal slope during downhill timber extraction by a cable skidder when thrust force is equal to zero. Results showed mobility ranges of an empty skidder for slopes between −50% and +80%, skidder with 1 tonne load between −26% and +63%, skidder with 2 tonne load between −30% and +51%, skidder with 3 tonne load between −34% and +39%, skidder with 4 tonne load between −35% and +30% and skidder with 5 tonne load between −41% and +11%.These results serve to improve our understanding of safer, more efficient timber extraction methods on sloped terrain.

Price 75 cents Preface THOSE who want to be successful in any line of work or business must learn the tricks of the trade one way or another. For most occupations there is a wealth of published information that explains how the job can best be done without taking too many knocks in the hard school of experience. For logging, however, there has been no ade- quate source of information that could be understood and used by the man who actually does the work in the woods. This NORTHEASTERN LOGGERS' HANDBOOK brings to- gether what the young or inexperienced woodsman needs to know about the care and use of logging tools and about the best of the old and new devices and techniques for logging under the conditions existing in the northeastern part of the United States. Emphasis has been given to the matter of workers' safety because the accident rate in logging is much higher than it should be. Sections of the handbook have previously been circulated in a pre- liminary edition. Scores of suggestions have been made to the author by logging operators, equipment manufacturers, and professional forest- ers.

    United States Department of MECHANIZED SYSTEMS FOR Agriculture ARVESTING ASTERN ARDWOODS Forest H E H Service Northern Research Station Chris B. LeDoux General Technical Report NRS-69 Abstract In the central Appalachian region, hardwoods traditionally have been harvested by chainsaw felling with trees and logs extracted from the forest to landings by rubber-tired skidders, bulldozers, and crawler tractors. In recent years, mechanized systems that include feller bunchers and cut-to-length (CTL) processors coupled with forwarders and clambunk and grapple skidders have been used increasingly to harvest Eastern hardwoods. Feller bunchers fell trees and pile stems or logs in bunches. CTL processors fell trees and delimb them, buck the stems into logs, and pile them in presorted bunches. Wood piles and bunches are transported to landings by a clambunk or grapple skidder or a forwarder. These system combinations for processing and transporting essentially eliminate the need for woods workers on the ground, a major advantage from a production and safety standpoint, and greatly reduce adverse effects on the site compared to chainsaw felling and conventional skidding. Feller buncher and CTL systems are reviewed, results of environmental impact studies are presented, and cost equations for a range of operating conditions in Eastern hardwoods are provided. The Author CHRIS B. LEDOUX is a research industrial engineer with the U.S. Forest Service’s Northern Research Station at Morgantown, West Virginia.

    ABSTRACT An operational test of a small, pro- totype running skyline yarder was con- ducted early in 1978. Test results indicate that this yarder concept prom- ises a low cost, high performance system for harvesting small logs where skyline methods are indicated. Timber harvest by thinning took place on 12 uphill and 2 downhill skyline roads, and clearcut harvesting was performed on 4 uphill skyline roads. Skyline roads were spaced about 46 meters (150 feet) apart and were up to 335 meters (1,100 feet) long. Delays caused by the yarder were insignificant. Production as high as 343 logs per day was achieved. KEYIJORDS: Logging equipment engineering, production studies(-forest operations, logging operations analysis/design, logging economics.

The running skyline system was chosen because it provides a combination of features which are not available with other cable logging systems.

    LOGGING and LOG TRANSPORT in TROPICAL HIGH FOREST Log Extraction in Waterlogged Areas by Means of Blasted Ditches, Surinam

    rv0D AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS As recorded information on methods, production and costs of logging and transport in the developing world - and especially in tropical high forest - is scarce, one of the main purposes· of this manual is to focus attention on the analytic approach needed to quantify output and costs data. An important element of tropical high forest logging is examined: the influence of physical and economic conditions on production. Production and cost data are presented, as far as available information permits, for the most commonly used logging methods adaptable to this. particular situation.
