Abstract
Farm tractor logging systems have been used in small-scale forest operations due to relatively lower capital investment and operating costs comparing with mechanized harvesting systems. They can operate more effectively and reduce the residual stand damage or soil compaction in thinning of stands with high timber density. Besides, a farm tractor equipped with appropriate forestry attachments can be used in various types of operations without any major investment. The logging systems should be well planned to retain the advantages of using farm tractors in small-scale forestry. This study discusses the ways of using farm tractors efficiently in various forest harvesting operations including skidding and forwarding.
