Forestry & timber circle

Brazil plantation harvest: six-wheel or eight-wheel forwarder?

12° slope and 600 m haul: six wheels are nimble but sink, eight wheels cost more.

Gabon log yard: how to split work between grapple and loader?

400 m³ of logs a day on a 3-hectare yard.

Hauling timber in Cameroon rains: 6×4 tractor units slipping?

12 km of forest track, slipping on loaded climbs, only two trips a day.

Three km of forest road: drainage first or gravel first?

Tanzania sawmill: band saw or multi-blade saw?

60 m³ of logs a day, mostly construction timber.

Fined for overloaded log trucks: how to control the load?

Axle limits exceeded, USD 1,500 per fine.
