Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive guide to optimizing the log-making process in hardwood logging operations. It presents findings from a study that investigated the impact of various factors on log-making efficiency. The author demonstrates that one-man crews consistently outperform two-man crews in terms of efficiency, making this book especially valuable for logging contractors seeking to reduce costs. Contrary to expectations, the study revealed that factors like tree species, topography, and type of power saw used had no significant impact on production rates. However, tree size and volume cut per acre were found to have a positive correlation with production rates. This book provides a practical method for estimating log-making costs, enabling logging contractors to plan their operations more effectively. By incorporating the insights offered in this book, logging contractors can enhance their productivity and profitability, making it an indispensable resource for anyone involved in the hardwood logging industry.
