  • 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 module will illustrate the timber harvesting process. This module supports the following Science Standards of Learning: Resources 4.8 d) forests, soil, and land 6.9 a) management of renewable resources (water, air, soil, plant life, animal life) Module Description Frame 1. The module opens with a title slide that contains the title “Timberrr!”, credits, and a voice shouting “Timberrrrrrrr!” Users will click on the trees located along the top of the screen to navigate through the module. Steps can be viewed in any sequence, but will be described here in order from left to right. Intro. This frame provides an introduction that addresses the importance of timber harvesting and the forest products industry to Virginia’s economy. The text reads as follows: “Timber harvesting is a necessary and important process for getting trees from the woods to the factories that make many of the products we use every day.” The second paragraph leads in to a quiz question, followed by four possible answers: “Virginia’s forests provide jobs for many people. For example, foresters might study, measure, and map trees and forests. Loggers harvest trees and take them to wood using industries or factories. Factory workers help turn these trees into products.

    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.

  • Johnson Forest Management of Red Creek, New York
    he small town of Red Creek, New York, lies just south of Lake Ontario in the Finger Lakes region of the state. TThe town might be named for the color of the water that flows in Red Creek – a mineral red hue, the result of iron ore in the waterbed. According to local lore, however, the name might also come from an old tannery that polluted the local water supply with red dye. Today, Red Creek is a town of about 500 people, many of whose families have lived there since the tannery days. Among those multi-generational residents are the Johnson family of Johnson Forest Management: Tom Johnson, Trevor Johnson, and Dustin Johnson. LAKE “We grow the nicest hard maple in the world in the Finger Lakes,” said Tom Johnson, who has logged around Red Creek for the past 40 years. “My grandfather and dad practiced forest management before anybody even thought about it. They always set people up on a 10-year rotation; they’d go in and harvest the stuff that was ready and then, 10 years later, go back and cut it again.” As a young man, Johnson watched his dad ONTARIO manage the forest to grow healthy trees, returning to woodlots four or five times over the years. Johnson prides himself in good forest management, as well. “Hard maple keeps growing, and we try to look toward the future for landowners and ourselves,” said Johnson. Tom Johnson got his start logging in 1979, fifty years after his LOGGING grandfather, Ed Johnson, started the family logging business with a crosscut saw, a T-20 International Crawler Tractor, a log truck, and a 1937 Ford.

  • Harvesting Timber Using the Shovel-Mat Logging Method
    Focus Series on Bottomland Swamp Forests December 2018 #BF-4 Harvesting Timber Using the Shovel-Mat Logging Method The Issue Harvesting timber in bottomlands, swamps and other low-lying areas usually requires specialized logging equipment and methods. The most frequently-used method is known as ‘shovel logging’, also called ‘mat logging’. This method of logging integrates the use of multiple machines mounted upon crawler tracks in tandem with machines that are mounted on extra-wide or dual-rubber tires. This logging method is suited for wet-natured sites where clearcut harvesting will be implemented. The Method First, a track-mounted harvesting machine cuts a pathway through the standing timber. Next, a similar track- mounted, tree-handling/log-loader machine will pick up the trees that have been cut and place them atop of the ground in a finger-joined pattern to create a skid trail atop of the ground surface. Then, rubber-tired skidder tractors drive back and forth atop of this skid trail to shuttle the newly harvested timber from the forest, up to the log deck for merchandizing and staging. Once an area of the tract has been harvested, the trees and logs that were used to build the skid trail are pulled up. Left: A track-mounted tree harvesting machine (called a tracked feller-buncher). Right: A track-mounted log-loader (called a shovel logger, or shovel machine), on the end of a shovel skid trail. NOTE: Over the years, some loggers and foresters have used the term “shovel road” or “mat road” when talking about shovel-logging.
