1. Non mechanised
felling and processing with a chain saw
extraction by hand / steep terrain
Productivity CostsSolid m³/day €/solid m³
10 - 30 36 - 50
Harvesting systems
2. Partially mechanized
felling and processing with a chain saw
extraction by tractor, winch, skidder…
Productivity Costs
Solid m³/day €/solid m³
30 – 97 16 - 35
Harvesting systems
3. Highly mechanised
felling with a chain saw, processing by processor
extraction by cable systems
Productivity Costs
Solid m³/day €/solid m³
60 – 129 21 - 36
Harvesting systems
4. Fully mechanised
felling and processing by harvester
extraction by forwarder
Productivity Costs

Location for chipping
on felling site
Location for chipping
on forest road
Chipping on the forest roadSWOT – Analysis
Strengths- Locally processing of raw material
- No additional manipulation and transport cost
for branches and treetops
Weakness - Small storage areas
- Long rest period for trucks while the chipping process
- Well forest road for trucks
Chance - Additional use of logging residuals
Risks - Collaboration: chipping and delivery
Chipping on the forestry roadSWOT – Analysis
Location for chipping
wood storage place
Location for chipping
at the plant
Chipping – wood storage place
StrenghtsLarge chipper = lower costs per bulk m³
On site chipping – no additional transport costs
Weakness
Transport of branches – lower transport capacity
Requirements and orders: noise, dust, neighbours,…
Chances Efficient workload of current chipper
Risks Deprivation of nutrient / wood – due to the use of branches
Chipping – wood storage place
