Title	Low-cost harvesting systems for intensive utilization in small-stem lodgepole pine stands.
Creator	Host, John R.
Contributor	Schlieter, Joyce, joint author. ;<br> Intermountain Forest and Range Experiment Station (Ogden, Utah) ;<br> United States. Forest Service.
Description	Three different skidding methods (small rubber-tired skidder, horse, and small tracked tractor) were compared in an overmature lodgepole pine stand in Montana. Five comparable units were logged using two different utilization standards -- loggers' choice and 2 1/2-inch top d.i.b. Skidding production, product volume removed per acre, and residue volume per acre are compared for each cutting unit. Skidding costs, in order of increasing costs were rubber-tired skidder, horse, and then farm tractor. On a capital investment basis, horse skidding is the most efficient.
