The purpose of the research was to present problems related to the damage to the stand resulting from the scraping works performed on its surface, mainly with the use of forwarder skidding. The research was conducted in thinned Scots pine stands in the IV and V age class in the Wipsowo Forest District (northern Poland). In the selected stands we carried out the inventory of the stand layers. Based...
Skidders are used at two stages of log extraction: when pulling logs to a skid trail and for further semi−suspended log skidding along the trail to a landing. The aim of the study is to characterise the working time structure of a skidder operator performing timber extraction from the stand to the trail, and to develop time−consumption models depending on terrain slope and skidding distance. The research...
One of the most difficult technological operations in forest utilization is wood transport, especially its first stage i.e. extraction. This is related to the fact that the forest operations must be economically effective, but also safe for the forest environment. Difficult terrain conditions require determining and choosing the optimal variant of skidding. The most popular method for optimizing work...
The aim of the study is to characterise the working time structure of an operator of the LKT 82 skidder performing timber skidding on the sloping area, and to develop models of efficiency and time−consumption of the work depending on selected factors characteristic of the described transport process. The research was performed in the Sucha Forest District (S Poland). We considered two treatments:...
Skidding includes timber transport from the place of its harvest to the place of its storage, loading or pre−treatment. This process in the thinned stands can result in serious damage to the remaining trees. The purpose of the described research was to characterize and compare the size and location of damage in the thinned stands after forwarder skidding with the damages resulting from the combined...
The amount of timber extracted from Polish forests is expected to increase in near future. The most common equipment for timber extraction is an agricultural tractor with a trailer equipped with a hydraulic crane. The research was carried out in the Wymiarki Forest District (Regional Directorate of the State Forests in Zielona Góra) in the third (TP1) and fourth age class (TP2) in Scots pine stands,...
Pozyskiwanie drewna, zgodnie z ustawą o lasach, jest jedną z głównych dziedzin działalności leśnictwa. Proces ten może się odbywać jednak pod warunkiem zapewnienia maksymalnej ochrony środowiska. Ze społecznego i gospodarczego punktu widzenia z pozyskiwania drewna zrezygnować nie można. Leśników więc obowiązuje zasada takiego postępowania, aby naruszenie równowagi środowiska było minimalne i umożliwiało...
Improvement cuttings conducted simultaneously on a few closely located areas, often face problems about how to prepare places that would serve as temporary landings for the harvested wood. This results from insufficient wood storing space in the forest and limited accessibility of the road network to wood hauling trucks, and leads to solutions, suggesting where small landings at tree−stand edge must...
