Abstract

A proto-type mobile chip harvester has been designed to harvest forest biomass in the form of logging residuals for use as energy wood. The proto-type is presently undergoing developmental tests. Results are encouraging, indicating mechanical feasibility with prospects of working systems within the next several years.
