WORK PERFORMANCE OF MB TRAC 900 TRACTOR ON MOUNTAINS TERRAIN IN TURKEY
The forestry works mainly involves such various stages as growing, protection, production, wood harvesting, marketing and utilization of forest products. Wood harvesting is performed by completion of cutting, extraction and transporting stages. The most obvious feature of wood harvesting is that the operations are done under various weather conditions open in the field. The measurements and observations were made on 25 work made under different working conditions during cable pulling with MB Trac 900 forest tractor at the harvesting area. The time determinations were made with continuous time measuring technique. Regression analyses were employed for determining the factors. In this paper, the results of studies carried out on the MB Trac 900 forest tractor operated in the Artvin region located in the Northeast Turkey are presented.

• Time required for untying the load from the hook. (S-CP)
• Total time required. (S-CP)
(S: Skidding to 300-600 m; CP: Cable Pulling to 30 m)
3. Results and discussion
The Tallica District operating under the management of Artvin Forestry Operations office was chosen as the study area for timber haulage operations. All workers employed at tractor operations were housed in the barracks located within the forest area.
In that district, production operations were carried using tractors for a total of 3 months, namely July, August and September during a year, hauling a total of 652 m timber. The 90 % of total production realized in the district was transported by the forestry tractors.
The average times of timber haulage for the tractors installed in two different locations in the district are shown in Table 2, while the share of time taken by each stage of operation in the total time is shown in Figure 2.

4. Conclusions and recommendations
The results of this study have shown that the transport of forestry products by tractors operated in areas located in mountainous terrain, not accessible by forest roads, is a more permanent and efficient haulage method in mountainous forest land when combined with forest roads, since it enables side drawing, eliminates losses in quality and quantity; offers a comparatively short mounting and dismounting time, has an opening-to-production rate of one hundred percent, and enables transportation in both directions when required.
In the light of the results of this study, the following recommendations should be taken into consideration in order to ensure the performance of timber haulage operations in a more effective and productive way.
For the operation of a tractor in the forest land, there must be an adequate quantity of wood raw materials in the haulage area. The tractor operators must definitely be permanently employed workers. This point is important in order to en-
40
^icoBa iH^eHepm: TexMiKa, TexMO^oria i goBKimH
sure productive working and the careful handling and maintenance of tractors by the operators. For more efficient operation of tractors, a minimum of two workers should be employed at the loading stations. This would enable the tying of hook to the load in a shorter period of time, thereby minimizing any losses of time.
Persons not specialized in tractors operations should not be employed for this purpose as tractors are expensive pieces of equipment and they cannot always be immediately repaired on site.
The Forestry Operations Office must pay special care and attention in providing proper accommodation facilities to the works and meeting their food and tools and equipment needs in order to enable them to work in a more secure and productive way in field conditions. In order to prevent decrease in their efficiency and to reduce fuel consumption, the maintenance of machinery must be performed according to technical specification and in a timely manner. An adequate number of spare parts should be maintained in order to prevent any loss of time in case of urgent maintenance-repair works.

Power saws require a relatively large amount of oil for their operation the reason being idle lubrication of the cutting chain. Oil leakages in the environment can result in soil and water contamination and are known to impact both flora and fauna. Many countries in Europe struggle to minimize the damage by imposing the use of biologically degradable oils for these purposes. The work presents an assessment of these biologically degradable oils from the viewpoint of their possible occurrence in environment and from the viewpoint of their technical characteristics which affect reliability and economy of working with power saws. Oil dispersion is evaluated especially from the viewpoint of the concentration of its occurrence on the soil surface after cutting with the power saw. Technical properties evaluated include heat-oxidation stability and pumping properties of oils at low temperatures.
