Forwarding - Basic Concepts

What are the most important rules for working with the hydraulic loader?
1. It is important to work very fast this is the only way to get a good result for your company.
2. It is not necessary to take care of the hydraulic system, the spare parts are not very expensive.
3. To work with precise and smooth movements occurs less vibration and more cofort for the operater.
What is a pressure shock?
1. A pressure shock is a permanent disease of the central nervous system, which arises due to excessive work pressure.
2. A pressure shock is an overload of the hydraulic system, for example caused by a sudden stop of a crane motion.
3. A pressure shock is an injury to the brain caused by an explosion of the hydraulic system.
Which position does the grappler must have when you do not load anything ?
1. Open and placed on the load.
2. Closed and placed on the load.
3. Closed and about 30 cm above the load.
Why it is so important to work with the telescopic boom?
1. Because it looks good and makes a professional impression.
2. Because with the full extended telescopic boom the main lifting boom is in a good angle to lift heavy load
3. Because the power reaches its maximum and it is possible to lift very heavy load.
Select the right speed rule!
1. It is important to drive as fast as possible to increase the level of performance
2. Choose the speed at which you feel comfortable and confident.
3. To weight the drive system as less as possible you should move very slowly.
When you are driving the forwarder on secoundary and/or main trails you have to take care of...?
1. Nothing, in the forest no one is responsible.
2. It is important to check the work of the harvester driver to alert him to his mistakes.
3. Always try to drive straight up or straight down the slopes and adjust your speed to the terrain
Select the right way rules! But watch out, sometimes several solutions are correct!
1. The machine with more hp always has the right of way.
2. An empty forwarder makes way for a loaded forwarder.
3. A harvester should, as a rule, make way for a loaded forwarder.
4. A forwarder with eight wheels has right of way before a forwarder with six wheels.
How can you check the carrying capacity?
1. Jump up and down all over the terrain.
2. With an iron bar or similar object which can be push into the ground.
3. With a three kilo heavy stone which is dropped on the ground. Now it is possible to see, how deep the stone is in the ground.
Why it is so important to check the carrying capacity?
1. Because with too soft subsoil large floor damage can occure and the risk is high to get stuck.
2. It is not necessary to check it, because there are a lot of sawlogs and branches on the ground.
3. Because the crossing at too soft subsoil has a negative impact to the groundwater.
What are you doing when sawlogs or pulpwood is located in your trail?
1. Using the loader to remove it from your trail.
2. You drive over it, because it is a good floor for processors and forwarders.
3. Every log is individually moved with the grappler from the trail to the pile. That is called skidding.
