Improved fuelwood harvesting and handling systems

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5191061
There exists a great deal of small diameter wood in the forest which is presently unutilized. Most hardwood forests would benefit greatly if thinnings and inprovement cuttings could be economically made in these smaller size classes. High speed firewood production may be within reach of any woodland owner who has a farm tractor. This paper describes a variety of equipment which can be used to greatly enhance the productivity of the farm tractor for woods use.
