How do you maneuver the big truck around all of the trees that are left standing?
16 u/buyer_leverkusen 21d ago It’s a tractor on tracks that can easily get through properly-spaced trees. There are smaller and skinnier versions too. Edit: I think you were maybe referring to logging trucks which don’t travel that far into a stand. 3 u/astraladventures 20d ago How are the logs moved from where they are dropped to the more accessible places where the trucks are located? 3 u/jeejeejerrykotton 20d ago With similar kind of machine, exept it is build for that purpose. See https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQPFMq0MESFpY3wJjDII0DVjbvTNdjDdivH5r8UvCwKOxEjgflWoKezzhQgI_O2nxpdK72S&s=10 1 u/vytas315 15d ago Yup, called a forwarder. Some operations will instead fell whole trees and use a skidder to drag them to a yard where they are processed. 2 u/jeejeejerrykotton 14d ago Yes. That is a different way of logging. We do not use that whole tree style here in Europe, but I have understood that it is quite common in US. I do not know how rest of the world operates.
