A study was conducted in Pinus elliottii and Pinus patula clear-felling stands in the Southern Cape and Mpumulanga forestry regions of South Africa. A hybrid harvester was observed over four compartments in a cut-to-length system in order to assess i

Productivity of a mechanized P. patula cut-to-length harvesting operation was estimated and modelled using two methods of data collection: manual time study and follow-up study using StanForD stem files. The objective of the study was to compare the

There has been a concerted shift from traditional motor-manual and semi-mechanised timber harvesting systems to mechanised cut-to length (CTL) operations in South Africa. This is particularly true in Eucalyptus pulpwood felling and processing, South

Recent and increasing use of mechanized cut-to-length (CTL) operations in South Africa has been associated with greater diesel and lubricant requirements than was previously the case with motor-manual or semi-mechanized activities, placing a strain o

This study quantifies the operational efficiency and cost of pre-choking main and tagline systems for tree-length extraction using a cable skidder. The study was done by comparing productivity and costs of the two systems in a semi-mechanised tree-le
