Our report on wheeled forestry equipment discusses wheeled log skidders and feller bunchers. Log skidders are used to transport trees and logs out of the forest once they have been felled. Feller bunchers perform a two-step process; the machine cuts down one or several trees and then stacks the felled trees so they may be transported. This report details sales, production, import and export activity, field population information, and forecasts for forestry equipment; it also contains valuable analysis of the timber industry as it relates to the U.S. and Canadian economies.
