Abstract

The purpose of the proposed modernization was to create the possibility of harvesting assortments simultaneously with stripping the bark in longitudinal strips to accelerate the natural drying of wood without reducing the productivity of the device compared to its counterparts. The goal was achieved and the forest harvester equipped with the new device was able to harvest debarked logs.
