Time Consumption Analysis of Forwarder Activities in Thinning

, 2020
Forwarding can be divided into separate work elements. These are affected by several factors: forwarding distance, load volume, and types of assortments harvested.

Insight into the Productivity, Cost and Soil Impacts of Cable-assisted Harvester-forwarder Thinning in Western Oregon

, 2020
Cable-assisted (or tethered) mechanized harvesting has recently been introduced to the Pacific Northwest of the United States, and is rapidly being adopted by the forest industry. However, potential environmental impacts, productivity and cost of the new

Distributed PC Based Routers: Bottleneck Analysis and Architecture Proposal [PDF]

, 2008
Recent research in the different functional areas of modern routers have made proposals that can greatly increase the efficiency of these machines. Most of these proposals can be implemented quickly and often efficiently in software.

Influence of human factor on the time of work stages of harvesters and crane-equipped forwarders

Journal of Forest Science, 2008
Harvester technologies represent the second most common logging system in the Czech Republic. The high productivity of this technology is very necessary to cover its acquisition and operational costs.

Modelling of forwarding distance to maximize the utilization of medium and high-power harvester technology

Journal of Forest Science, 2017
Every technologist aims to maximize the performance and capacity of vehicles, particularly when deployed in technological lines. To maximize the utilization of harvester technology, particularly of forwarders following the work of harvesters, it is ...

Mixing navigation on networks [PDF]

, 2007
In this Letter, we proposed a mixing navigation mechanism, which interpolates between random-walk and shortest-path protocol. The navigation efficiency can be remarkably enhanced via a few routers.

The effects of an auxiliary axle on forwarder rut development – a Norwegian field study

International Journal of Forest Engineering, 2020
The goal of this study was to compare wheel-rut development between a conventional 8-wheel forwarder and a 10-wheel forwarder. Two Ponsse Buffalo forwarders with 14 metric ton load capacity were compared; one with a standard double-bogie undercarriage ...
