Özet

In order to select the most profitable forest harvesting system, productivity of mechanized harvesting machines should be carefully determined under various operating conditions. This study identifies the factors affecting productivity of specific harvesting machines including skidder, feller-buncher, harvester, loader and forwarder. The productivity formulations of the machines are presented to assist logging managers determining harvesting costs and evaluating alternative harvesting systems. The unit cost of logging for selected machine combinations are investigated based on the average stand characteristics of the sample plots selected from Başkonuş Research and Application Forest in a Mediterranean city of Kahramanmaraş, Turkey.
