Abstract

The traction for removing hung-up trees by skidding at their butt end was measured in a steep Chamaecyparis obtusa stand. The average maximum traction for removing was 2.29kN (upward felling) and 4.08kN (downward felling). The removing traction in the case of upward felling was significantly smaller than that of downward felling (p<0.05). In comparison with the traction of hung-up trees being passed through the crowns of remaining trees in the preceding study, the traction of upward felling in this study was significantly smaler (p<0.05). However, in the case of downward felling, a significant difference of traction was not shown. The average work for removing was 1.56kJ (upward felling) and 6.70kJ (downward felling), the work of upward felling was significantly smaller (p<0.1). In comparison with the estimated work of hung-up trees being passed through the crowns of remaining trees in the preceding study, the advantage of the method of skidding at the butt end was not shown.
