  • 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.

Most owners are well- versed in tree planting, vegetation control, and stand management, but planning a timber harvest and selling the logs is a process that occurs infrequently and uses terminology some owners find confusing. Terms like feller, buncher, Scribner, merch, cull, and long-butting are not often used in everyday conversation. Logging and selling timber in small volumes on small acreages comes with its own unique challenges and opportunities. Equipment, harvest unit layout, and merchandising are aspects of small harvest operations that can be especially difficult to manage. Although small-scale harvests can be economically In small-scale harvesting, contractors often subcontract driven like most larger harvesting operations, just self-loading log trucks because the small volumes don’t as often, the primary objective might be something justify moving a loader onto the site. such as creating a park, improving wildlife habitat, conducting an early thinning, removing dead or (MBF) of timber.

  • Mobility Range of a Cable Skidder for Timber Extraction on Sloped Terrain
    Article Mobility Range of a Cable Skidder for Timber Extraction on Sloped Terrain Andreja Đuka *, Tomislav Poršinsky, Tibor Pentek, Zdravko Pandur ID , Dinko Vusi´c and Ivica Papa ID Faculty of Forestry, University of Zagreb, Svetošimunska 23, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia; [email protected] (To.P.); [email protected] (Ti.P.); [email protected] (Z.P.); [email protected] (D.V.); [email protected] (I.P.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 2 August 2018; Accepted: 27 August 2018; Published: 30 August 2018 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-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.

C, 1951 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. 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.
