10 Author / Subject CTL

11 Author / Subject CTL

12 Why CTL in Northern Europe Limited amount of timber concise resource High stumpage price compared to US/Kanada/Russia Long tradition of CTL we started with horses in the beginning of 1900 Saw mills were adapted to CTL from very beginning

13 Customers demands Information flow Mills Contractors Land owners Purchasing

14 Automated Bucking Stem curve Values of the assortments to be cut - Ordered & allowed dimensions saw log small saw log pulpwood

15 Why automated bucking 1. Increase the quality and value of the round wood for mill 2. Harvesting more efficient 3. Work of operator easier 4. Increase productivity

16 Author / Subject Machine operation costs In CTL only two machines and operators are needed. These machines represent the latest technology so the unit price is higher than an old fashioned TL machine, but they are also more efficient, fuel-economic and ergonomic keep the production higher and operating costs lower! CTL: 1. Harvester 2. Forwarder TL/FT (min): 1. Feller-buncher 2. Skidder 3. Processor 4. Loader Benefits of CTL Only two machines are needed lower fuel consumption & labor costs (also less road transportation of machines) Ability to operate on sloped, soft and otherwise demanding areas Safe and comfortable working environment Suitability for selective thinnings the forests will increase in value Less damage on soil & vegetation environmental acceptance & better value of the forest in the future Because the logs are already cut into correct lengths, they can be sorted and processed in proper size classes Faster further processing Different timber assortments can be transported directly to correct mills; information flow is efficient Better logistics
