This new system of assessment can be considered as a solution for Precision Forestry (PF) applications and can be employed as a ICT tool for the management of the forest companies. Aim of the proposed system is to manage operational information such as: a) positioning of each felling operation inside the forest, b) measurement of the time spent to carry out the felling, c) estimation of the size of every felled tree, and in the end, d) the analysis of the productivity of the felling operations. This experience is based on the operative principle which considers that the lumberjack, during the actual cutting, drives the chainsaw with the engine at the highest number of rpm.

    Tips for felling a tree keep By Bill Kohlbrand ou’ve read the preceding Y“how-to” article about chainsaw sense and wood cutting and are familiar with the techniques. Now that you know about compres- sion and tension, we’ll talk about felling a tree. To determine the “com- pression” side of the tree, we size it up using some 1 4 criteria: • Lean • Limb placement • Snow load • Wind Usually, these few fac- tors will determine which way a tree wants to fall. These other factors will help determine the intend- ed lay of a tree: • Species (woods of dif- ferent species vary in strength and bending 2 5 ability) • Powerlines and other overhead hazards • Live or dead (as a rule, dead wood doesn’t bend as well as live wood, so its hinge may be more brittle). • Other nearby trees • Branches of nearby trees • Stumps or rocks that can cause a tree to jump off of its stump • Tree defects such as rot, dead limbs, catfaces (blemishes in wood caused by a partly healed 3 6 scar) and vertical cracks.
