METHOD FOR PREPARING FELLING AREAS FOR POWERED CURING CUTTING PROCESS Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: forestry. SUBSTANCE: method involves cutting out in apiaries, perpendicular to apiary technological passageways, trapezium-shaped areas allowing handling vehicles to be turned. Large base of each trapezium is positioned at one side of apiary passageway and is equal to doubled width of vehicle. Smaller base of trapezium has length equal to one and a half the width of vehicle. Height of trapezium or length of area is equal to vehicle length. Trapezium-shaped areas are positioned at distance of l(ar.)= $$$ one with respect to the other, where l (ar.) is space between areas, m; G is load capacity of vehicle, cub m; l is length of manipulator boom, m; U is curing cutting intensity, cub m/hectare. EFFECT: increased efficiency, improved quality of cleared areas and improved ecology. 2 cl, 1 dwg
