Calculating the correction factor of skidding distance based on forest road network [PDF]
Journal of Forest Science, 2011 Average skidding distance for forest stands is an important parameter for the determination of the optimum road density and spacing. In this research the real mean skidding distance and theoretical mean skidding distance were measured to calculate the ...

Determination of correction coefficient of average skidding distance according to the existing road network in Alikia Soltan forest of Iran [PDF]
Journal of Forest Science, 2013 One of the factors in planning forest roads is average skidding distance which is calculated in projects from the map, according to forest road density, however it has a low accuracy.

Time consumption and productivity of skidding Silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) round wood in reduced accessibility conditions: a case study in windthrow salvage logging form Romanian Carpathians [PDF]
Annals of Forest Research, 2013 Natural calamities (especially windthrows) may generate difficultwork conditions in timber harvesting operations. When associated with the reduced accessibility conditions, the work conditions become even harder.

The Effect of Skid Distance on Distance Control in Golf Putting
Procedia Engineering, 2014 AbstractIn putting, a common assumption is made that a performance improvement will be made when the ball begins to roll more quickly following the impact with the club. Previous research has reported that distance control accounts for 80% of putting performance.

Assessment of timber extraction distance and skid road network in steep karst terrain [PDF]
iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2017 This study aims to define a simple and effective method to calculate skidding distances on steep karst terrain, rich in ground obstacles (stoniness and rockiness) to support decision planning of secondary and primary forest infrastructure network for timber extraction in productive selective cut forests.

Time study and skidding capacity of the wheeled skidder Timberjack 450C in Caspian forests
Journal of Forest Science, 2008 This study was carried out in a steep and difficult terrain. Trees were logged downhill to the landing by a wheeled skidder Timberjack 450C. Selection cutting was performed on a 66-hectare tract with an average slope of 30%.

Productivity of a Portable Winch System Used in Salvage Logging of Storm-Damaged Timber
Croatian Journal of Forest Engineering, 2019 Storm damages result in serious losses in many regions, primarily by stem breakage or blowdown. Extraction of storm-damaged trees often requires more difficult than normal skidding activities due to obstacles created during the storm.
