| rdfs:comment | - A forwarder is a forestry vehicle that carries (big) felled logs from the stump to a roadside landing. Unlike a skidder, a forwarder carries logs clear of the ground, which can reduce soil impacts but tends to limit the size of the logs it can move. Forwarders are typically employed together with harvesters in cut-to-length logging operations. They transport them to the side of a forest road or an area of hard standing were they are stacked for collection by road going trucks to transport them to the sawmill or paper mill. This reduces the need to build high quality tracks into the forest for highway trucks to run on avoid getting stuck or damaged.
