How many trees should be measured when routinely checking log length measurements?
- At least 10 butt and 10 intermediate logs should be measured
- At least 3 butt and 3 intermediate logs should be measured
- At least 5 butt and 10 intermediate logs should be measured
- At least 5 butt and 5 intermediate logs should be measured
What is the software that suggests the best cutting pattern for a stem called?
- Organisational software
- Prognoses software
- Optimization software
- Processing software
Which TWO routine dimension checks should be made at the same time?
- Length and straighteness
- Length and diameter
- Diameter and roundness
- Butt diameter and tip diameter
Name the TWO different machine parts that can be used to measure diameter
State TWO conditions that the hydraulic system should be in to give accurate diameter measurements.
State why a stem must be fed from butt to tip to measure diameters
- Because it is easier to see the harvester head when feeding
- Because delimbing is better
- Because it is easier to cut the last log
- Because the measuring system cannot measure increasing diameters
List THREE situations that would cause you to recalibrate your diameter measuring system
- When changing the pricelist, moving from small to large diameter trees and when changing the hydraulic pressures on the harvester head
- When changing from species to species, changing the pricelist and when changing the hydraulic pressures on the harvester head
- When changing from species to species, changing the pricelist and when changing the hydraulic oil
- When changing from species to species, changing the delimbing knives or roller arms and when changing the hydraulic pressures on the harvester head
What is a simple way to help you remember calibration information
- Write it down
- Keep repeating it back to yourself
- Rememeber it in a song or a rhyme
- Take a picture and email it to yourself
