This calculator has been developed to assist the logging planner with developing alternative logging system selections.

It has incorporated my 25 years experience in the logging engineering field and will demonstrate the timber and terrain variables that affect logging costs.

Awareness is the first step in exploring the right logging system for a particular job, be it tactical or strategic.

One size fits all, the cresent wrench approach, does not lead to reduced costs and reduced impacts, see associated documentation.

This can be installed on a Pocket PC and used in the field, if when you print your results you can't see all the numbers change your text size to smaller, click the ? for more info.
