Solid, low pressure and high pressure tires have been used. As many as nine axles may be used to provide low ground pressure and good traction. [6] Timber is commonly grown in hilly country unsuitable for farming and so the ability of a log truck to climb a gradient is significant. The steepness depends on the quality of the surface - mud and ...
A log splitter is a piece of machinery or equipment used for splitting firewood from softwood or hardwood logs that have been pre-cut into sections (rounds), usually by chainsaw or on a saw bench.

Other names are four way wheel wrench, spanner, brace, or cross.
Forwarders can use rubber tires or tracks. [1] Unlike a skidder, a forwarder carries logs clear of the ground, which can reduce soil impacts but tends to limit the size of the logs it can move. [2] Forwarders are typically employed together with harvesters in cut-to-length logging operations. Forwarders originated in Scandinavia. [3]
Log splitting is the act of splitting firewood from logs that have been pre-cut into sections (rounds, bolts, billets [3]). This can be done by hand, using an axe or maul, or by using a mechanical log splitter. [4] When splitting a log by hand, it is best to aim for the cracks (called checks), if there are any visible.

Horse skidder with high wheels. Early skidders were pulled by a team of oxen, horses or mules. The driver would straddle the cart over felled logs, where dangling tongs would be positioned to raise the end of the log off the ground. The team pulled the tongue forward, allowing the log to "skid" along between the rolling wheels.

The wheels are driven in rotation to force the cut tree stem through the delimbing knives. diameter sensors to calculate the volume of timber harvested in conjunction with; a measuring wheel which measures the length of the stem as it is fed through the head. One operator in the vehicle's cab can control all of these functions.
