Wood production activities in Türkiye have increased greatly in recent years. Especially in
parallel with the increase in population, the need for wood raw material has also increased.
Different vehicles are used in wood production in Türkiye. These are agricultural tractor,
skidder, harvester, portable hand winch, mobile tower yarder and skyline. The rate of
mechanization in wood production in our country is very high. Agricultural tractors play a
major role in production work. Mobile tower yarders and long-distance skylines are used in
mountainous regions. In this study, the studies on the use of machines in wood production
studies in Türkiye are examined. Data such as the efficiency, fuel consumption and operating
costs of tractors, skidders, yarders, skylines, hand winch are presented. In addition, the study
also provides up-to-date information such as the increasing amount of wood raw material in our
country in recent years and the numerical status of production machines. In the light of this
study, various recommendations were made on the effectiveness of the use of machinery in
wood production in Türkiye.
