Skidder Operations

Skidder Operations is a mechanized harvesting method that involves the use of tracked or wheeled skidder machinery to drag felled trees from the stump site to a central collection point, distinguishing it from other timber extraction techniques by its reliance on ground-based, cable- or grapple-assisted lateral displacement of logs.
