- Description:
- This study investigated,the site impacts of three types of inexpensive cable yarders. A Koller Model K-300 with intermediate support capability and a hydraulically clamping' carriage and a shop built, two-drum Idaho jammer rigged both as a ground lead with a squirrel block and as a live skyline with a nonclamping mechanical carriage were observed on three strip clearcuts and one shelterwood on two silt loam soils in northern Idaho. Change in soil bulk density, exposed mineral soil, residual slash, and residual damage to leave trees were recorded. Changes in soil bulk density for a crane mounted, single-drum jammer operating in the Idaho batholith near Smith's Ferry, Idaho were also recorded. Amount and distribution of soil disturbance and residual slash were determined and compared for the-systems. Number of damaged leave trees and type of damage were recorded in the 'shelterwood harvest.
