AB The concept of harvester technology is understood as a fully mechanized harvesting technology for the purpose of timber logging, which means timber handling, extraction and forwarding or skidding. This complete harvesting technology consists of two different assignments of accommodated, specialized logging machines - harvester and forwarder.This timber harvesting technology currently represents a state-of-the-art technology in logging and transport of timber in forestry. This is because the efficiency of the "harvester and forwarder" combination is several times higher than that of the commonly used technology of "power saw and tractor" (Lukáč, T., 2005). Other important elements that prevail with harvester technologies are a not negligible and high degree of labour hygiene as well as a significant decrease of environmental load influencing the environment.This paper analyzes prices of works related to timber harvesting and skidding in the selected forest stands of concerned workplaces.
