abstract:
The pressures of global competition on wood harvesting have resulted in a massive trend toward mechanization. However, for use in mountain forests, the classic system for harvesting, transporting, and processing trees must be modified. Harvesters and forwarders to process and transport trees on steep terrain have been built, but none has really been successful.
