  • Productivity and Cost-Efficiency of Bundling Logging Residues at Roadside Landing
    Original scientific paper – Izvorni znanstveni rad Productivity and Cost-Efficiency of Bundling Logging Residues at Roadside Landing Juha Laitila, Marica Kilponen, Yrjö Nuutinen Abstract – Nacrtak The aim of this case study was to clarify the productivity and cost of a system based on bun- dling logging residues at the roadside landing with the forwarder-mounted logging residue bundler. In order to find the bundling productivity, a set of time studies was carried out, in which several working techniques were tested and evaluated. The cost-efficiency of the roadside bundling system was compared with the conventional bundling system, wherein the logging of residue logs is made directly in the terrain and, after bundling, the logging residue logs are forwarded to the roadside landing with a forwarder. The harvesting cost (bundling and for- warding) of the extracted wood biomass to the roadside landing was calculated for bundling systems using time study data obtained from this study and productivity models and cost parameters acquired from the literature. The productivity of roadside bundling ranged from 48 to 53 logging residue logs per effective working hour (E0h), depending on the working technique used, and the mean time required to produce one logging residue log ranged from 83.6 to 92.3 seconds (E0h). The harvesting costs of the logging residue logs (€/m3) at the roadside landing were 11.5–13.7 €/m3 for the system based on bundling in terrain and 10.8–17.7 €/m3 for the system based on bundling at the roadside landing, when the forwarding distance was in the range 100–600 m and the removal of logging residues was in the range 30–90 m³/ha (m3 = solid cubic metre).

  • Productivty and Cost of a Cut-To-Length Commercial Thinning
    PRODUCTIVTY AND COST OF A CUT-TO-LENGTH COMMERCIAL THINNING OPERATION IN A NORTHERN CALIFORNIA REDWOOD FOREST By Kigwang Baek A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Resources: Forestry, Watershed, & Wildland Sciences Committee Membership Dr. Han-Sup Han, Committee Chair Dr. Daniel Opalach, Committee Member Dr. John-Pascal Berrill, Committee Member Dr. Alison O’Dowd, Program Graduate Coordinator May 2018 ABSTRACT PRODUCTIVTY AND COST OF A CUT-TO-LENGTH COMMERCIAL THINNING OPERATION IN A NORTHERN CALIFORNIA REDWOOD FOREST Kigwang Baek Cut-to-length (CTL) harvesting systems have recently been introduced to the redwood forests of California’s north coast. These machines are being used to commercially thin dense redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) stands which tend to form clumps of stems that vigorously sprout from stumps after a harvest. One of the challenges is to avoid damaging residual trees which can decrease productivity, increase costs, and lower the market value of trees. The goal of this study was to evaluate the productivity and costs associated with CTL systems used in a redwood forests and use that data to develop equations for predictions. Time and motion study methods were used to calculate the productivity of a harvester and forwarder used during the winter and summer seasons. Regression equations for each machine were developed to predict delay-free cycle (DFC) times. Key factors that influenced productivity for the harvesters was tree diameter and distance between harvested trees. Productivity for the harvesting ranged from 28.8 to 35.6 m3 per productive machine hour (PMH).

  • Mechanized Tree Planting in Sweden and Finland: Current State and Key Factors for Future Growth
    Article Mechanized Tree Planting in Sweden and Finland: Current State and Key Factors for Future Growth Back Tomas Ersson 1 ID , Tiina Laine 2 and Timo Saksa 2,* 1 School of Forest Management, SLU/Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, 73921 Skinnskatteberg, Sweden; [email protected] 2 Luke/Natural Resources Institute Finland, Latokartanonkaari 9, 00790 Helsinki, Finland; [email protected] * Correspondence: timo.saksa@luke.fi; Tel.: +358-29-532-4834 Received: 29 March 2018; Accepted: 26 May 2018; Published: 21 June 2018 Abstract: In Fennoscandia, mechanized tree planting is time-efficient and produces high-quality regeneration. However, because of low cost-efficiency, the mechanization of Fennoscandian tree planting has been struggling. To determine key factors for its future growth, we compared the operational, planning, logistical, and organizational characteristics of mechanized planting in Sweden and Finland. Through interviews with planting machine contractors and client company foresters, we establish that mechanized tree planting in Sweden and Finland presently shares more similarities than differences. Some notable differences include typically longer planting seasons in Sweden, and a tendency towards two-shift operation and less frequent worksite pre-inspection by contractors in Finland. Because of similar challenges, mechanized planting in both countries can improve cost-efficiency through education of involved foresters, flexible information systems, efficient seedling logistics, and continued technical development of planting machines. By striving to have multiple client companies, contractors can reduce their operating radii and increase their machine utilization rates. Above all, our results provide international readers with unprecedented detailed and comprehensive figures and characteristics of Swedish and Finnish mechanized tree-planting activities.

  • Forest Fuel Harvest in Stands of Lodgepole Pine Have Also Been Studied
    FOREST ENERGY FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE Composite Report from the R&D Programme Efficient Forest Fuel Supply Systems 2011-2015 Today, primary forest fuel is extracted in the form of whole or partly delimbed trees in thinnings, as FOREST FUEL harvest energy wood (usually defective roundwood), as logging residue after final felling, or as stumps. The – TECHNOLOGY AND fuel various assortments differ in terms of harvesting METHODS FOR HARVEST method, but subsequent handling – forwarding, AND ASH RECYCLING Forest comminution and onward transport – is very similar. Örjan Grönlund & Henrik von Hofsten, Skogforsk In the period 2009 to 2013, the cost of harvest and terrain transport increased somewhat for all forest fuel assortments. In 2013 average costs per m3 of chips were SEK 52 for energy wood, SEK 43 for logging residue, i.e. branches and tops from final fellings, SEK 80 for small trees, and SEK 81 for stumps. The greatest potential for an increased harvest of primary forest fuels lies in stumps and small trees. Biomass prices have fallen in recent years, and costs must be reduced in all parts of the supply chain to retain profitability in the forest fuel business and to generate income for the forest owner. Logging residue Today, logging residue is harvested in most final fellings in southern and central Sweden. The work methods and technology used for residue-adapted harvesting and for- warding of residues can be regarded as mature and well proven, so fine-tuning of techniques and methods is becoming an increasingly important part of the work to improve efficiency. Planning tools like STIG and Grotsporre improve the planning and simplify the forwarding work, while considerably reducing the risk of ground damage.

  • Predesignatedskid Trails 2.2.1.3 Reforestation
    Chapter 2—Alternatives 2.2.1.2 Timber Yarding Ground-based yarding In ground-based yarding, a machine travels to the logs and pulls them to the landing. The machines used for skidding are diverse and can have wheels or tracks. Trees and logs are removed from the woods using rubber- tired skidders, tracked skidders, or forwarders. The skidders yard the trees to the landing by lifting the front end of the logs off the ground. Skidders travel on skid trails that are designated and approved by the BLM. A feller-buncher fells and bunches trees mechanically. The typical feller-buncher is track mounted. Some must move from tree-to-tree for felling, while others use a boom to fell multiple trees from a single position. The feller-buncher bundles trees for a skidder to pick up and move to a landing. A forwarder is a rubber-tired machine that typically works with a harvester. Harvesters move through the stand felling, delimbing, bucking, and bunching trees selected for harvest. Forwarders travel into the stands on the slash created by the harvester. They load the logs piled by the harvester and carry them to the road where they are ofF-loaded. The logs carried by a forwarder do not touch the ground during travel. Ground-based yarding is generally limited to slopes of 35% or less. After harvest is complete, skid trails and landings not needed for future management would be ripped, seeded, and mulched. Skyline-cable yarding Skyline-cable yarding uses steel cables to pull logs to the landing. A stationary machine, or yarder, would be located on the road and would pull logs up to the landing with one end of the log suspended.
