Yarding productivity of tree-length harvesting using a small cable-yarder in steep slope, south korea... With an increasing interest using cable logging systems from steep slopes in South Korea, the yarding productivity and cost were evaluated for a small scale cable yarder....
Strip clear-cutting application and logging typologies for renaturalization of pine afforestation—a case study... Essentially, the answers to the main research questions are: (1) less invasive extraction systems seem to use a cable yarder and forest winch; (2) a clear soil recovery trend with good capabilities is visible, in particular for the two extraction systems by cable; however, over a three-year...
Residual stand damage caused by mechanized harvesting systems... The following harvesting systems were surveyed: (i) a cut-to-length wheeled harvester-forwarder system, (ii) a cut-to-length tracked harvester-forwarder system (iii) a cut-to-length harvester-cable yarder system, and (iv) a whole-tree chainsaw-cable yarder-processor system working in Norway spruce stands....
Using conjoint analyses to improve cable yarder design characteristics: an austrian yarder case study to advance cost-effective extraction... To identify the best suitable configuration of a cable yarder for steep terrain harvesting, user preferences based on an online survey (conjoint analysis) have been evaluated to answer the following questions: (1) What attributes...
