Production forestry
Plantation harvesting
Match felling, processing, extraction and roadside capacity as one system. The slowest stage determines the output you can sell.
Binding KPI: Cost per saleable cubic metre at roadside
Field guide
Choose forestry equipment by the work
Mechanised terrain
Steep-country harvesting
Treat the machine, tether, anchors, access and extraction plan as one engineered system. Mobility alone is not a production plan.
Binding KPI: Productive hours within the engineered operating envelope
Hectare-based work
Vegetation and land clearing
Specify the required site outcome first: standing material cut, residue mulched, stumps extracted or soil prepared. Each result needs a different tool.
Binding KPI: Cost per compliant hectare, including mobilisation
Tonnes and offtake
Biomass and residue processing
Begin with feedstock contamination and the buyer's product specification. Chipper versus grinder is a material decision before it is a horsepower decision.
Binding KPI: Delivered cost per accepted tonne
Before the machine joins the system
Inspect the history, not just the hour meter.
Five decisions before a model number
The fastest route to the right shortlist is to resolve the commercial constraints in order.
