Process development for the Harvarder for the provision of raw wood on parceled areas
Project
Project code: EIP-Agri-THÜ-2020-LGMFW
Contract period: 01.01.2020
- 31.12.2022
Budget: 156,950 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: farming equipment, forestry
The content of the cooperation project is the development and dissemination of technologies for the efficient supply of raw wood in scattered and small-scale timber production sites in areas difficult to access with a novel, traction winch-supported forest machine called Harvarder. The working time and process studies with the Harvard forest machine will be used to measure and determine the time and effort required for timber harvesting and logging, in order to be able to compare them with the use of conventional methods. The aim is to develop one or more working methods for a specific terrain in order to describe in detail how the Harvarder works and the resulting benefits in terms of time, material and resource savings. Suitable documentation should be created and disseminated for the process selection of forest owners, foresters, service providers and people in training.
