AB  - Harvester technologies of timber logging currently represent the high spot of technologies used in forestry for timber harvesting and forwarding. A typical feature of the "harvester-forwarder" combination is production rate, which is many times higher than in the commonly used technology of "power chainsaw-tractor" (Lukáč, T., 2005). Other major features prevailing in harvester technologies include an appreciably high level of work hygiene and a significant reduction of environmental burden, which is certainly beneficial for the environment.Harvester technologies of timber logging are currently an integral part of sustainable forest management.This paper focuses on finding options for the application of harvester technologies in selected entities based on the analysis of selected factors that can be greatly affected by the technologies.
