Productivity and cost in Harvesting of poplar with improved tools
Productivity and cost in Harvesting of poplar with improved tools
M. Ayaz
ABSTRACT
Results of time studies carried out at Daphar Forest
Plantation on the performance of peg-tooth crosscut saw,
raker-tooth crosscut saw and power chainsaw in felling
and conversion of poplar trees, show that power chain
saw is very fast in cutting and demands only about 13%
and 27% of the time/tree than with peg-tooth and
raker-tooth crosscut saws, respectively. Power chainsaw
also gives 4 and 7.2 times higher productivity of
timber/hour at a cost which is about half and one fourth
of the cost of work with raker-tooth and peg-tooth
crosscut saws, respectively.
