Abstract:

The Bitterroot Miniyarder was analyzed for productivity during demonstrations on Colorado's Front Range. The yarder was operated in both single-span and multi-span configurations and averaged 13.25 cords/day and 12.21 cords/day, respectively. Environmental damage was minimal, and areas not accessible to ground skidding were logged. The yarder lost horsepower at higher elevations, which reduced its potential effectiveness. Estimated productive hourly cost was $34.43, which translates to a cost of $28.42 per cord at an average production rate of 12.7 cords per day. West. J. Appl. For. 1:22-25, Jan. 1986.
