Factors affecting the production of rubber-tired skidders

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5592379
Functional forms of regression equations were developed for predicting cycle times for rubber-tired skidders in the 70 to 165 horsepower range. Variables other than volume found to affect skidding times were soil strength, rut depth, slope, segment length, radius of curvature, elevation, horsepower, equipment weight, and skidding distance. Separate equations in English and metric units were derived for board feet, cubic feet, cords, pounds, and load positioning.
