Determination of working yield in cutting and preparation of wood raw materials in Balıkesir region

This study is used to assist the cutting, overturning and transportation of wood raw material in pure black pine (Pinus nigra) stands in Balıkesir Forest Management Directorate, Kepsut region. The interactions between the variables and the time of the variable variables were investigated statistically. The measurements were carried out on 54 trees (total volume 62,244 m3, Industrial Volume 55,065 m3) in cutting and preparation work and on 85 logs (Industrial Volume 30,531 m3) in the peeling process with the apparatus attached to the chainsaw. Interactions between variables and their effects on time were investigated statistically. As a result of the study, the time required to obtain 1 m3 of product in all felling, delimbing, measuring marking and allotment and peeling operations is 21,46 min. According to this result, the working efficiency is 2.79 m3 per hour. Working 6 hours a day, the working efficiency was determined to be 16.74 m3. The results obtained can be used in the preparation of production plans for similar working conditions, monitoring and control of plan applications.
