Other claims from this paper (2)
- Intervention effect With diameter and total length visually estimated, the knuckle–boom loader gave a significant difference in total stem value compared with the tracked processor.
- Recommendation Until mill specifications become more stringent, there is little incentive for loggers to buy a tracked processor if their only motivation is higher merchantability values.
