Assessment of mechanized cutting operations in the Slovenian state forests

The results of worksite analyses in Slovenian state forests show that mechanized cutting was carried out mainly in coniferous stands and on a moderate slope. The higher competitiveness of the mechanized cutting operation that was expected in comparison to manual motor cutting and tractor skidding in thinning operations was not recorded to a greater extent, since mechanized cutting was applied in the majority of cases (75%) in stands dominated by older development phase of (stands of mature trees) and predominantly from the second expanded thickness class (30-50 cm).
