A data set was compiled from detailed information provided from 26 independent logging contractors from throughout the Eastern United States over a five year period from 2000 to 2004. The age distribution of the logging contractors in the study has increased over time with the percentage of contractors over the age of 55 rising from 15% to 32%. The median age of all equipment including feller-bunchers, skidders, loaders, bulldozers, service vehicles, and haul trucks increased over the period. While the median age of all equipment increased, the age of service and support equipment saw the greatest increase. The total average cost per ton increased 13% over the five year period from [dollars]13.99 in 2000 to [dollars]16.11 in 2004, due mostly to increases in fuel costs and higher use of contract services. Total production for all firms increased by a net of 450,000 tons over five years.

Download Logging Cost and Productivity Associated with Labor and Mechanization in the Eastern United States Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Forty-eight harvesting contractors over 13 states submitted data on cost and production over a period from 2003-2006. Within this group, 30 harvesting contractors submitted data for all four years in the study period. Discussions of logging development is presented in Chapter II focusing on labor and equipment. Data analysis focused on production estimates and cost information from a firm size and regional standpoint in Chapter IV. Analysis of consecutive data in Chapter V focused on shifts over time in labor, equipment and related cost categories. Contractors in the Coastal Plains were most numerous and demonstrated a distinct difference in sub-groups. Piedmont firms were second in number followed by Appalachian and Lake States firms. Consumables costs affected all firms most especially between 2004 and 2005. The number of medium sized firms dropped sharply in 2005 indicating attempts to either reduce operating costs or spread increased operating costs over higher production levels.

Download Technoeconomic Analysis of Conventional Logging Systems Operating from Stump to Landing Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
S2A technoeconomic analysis of timber harvesting systems was conducted to obtain key information for estimating long run supply trends of roundwood materials from eastern woodlands. Productivity and cost factors for six stump-to-landing systems were developed from operational data for 47 harvesting operations. Technical factors and the effects of financial considerations were also assessed. Combined with the productivity and cost factors, they provided better perception of the forces impacting long run roundwood supplies and logging contractors' business options.S3.

Download Stump-to-mill Timber Production Cost Equations for Cable Logging Eastern Hardwoods Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
S2Logging cost simulators and data from logging cost studies have been assembled and converted into a series of equations that can be used to estimate the stump-to-mill cost of cable logging in mountainous terrain in the Eastern United States. These equations include the use of two small and four medium-size cable yarders and are appropriate for harvested trees ranging in diameter from 6 to 24 inches. Cost components can be determined easily with a hand calculator. A program that can be used with many desktop computers also is available that calculates the total stump-to-mill logging cost for specific logging conditions.S3.
