Abstract: The article is devoted to the analysis of the results of experimental studies of shelterwood felling technology using technological schemes with broad forest swathes. Experimental studies were conducted using three different technological schemes with broad forest swathes and a harvester for tree felling. The collection of experimental data was conducted in the form of a two-factor experiment with three levels of variation for each factor and a proof by exhaustion. Research objective: identification of theoretical patterns of logging using a harvester and forwarder for shelterwood felling in cutting areas with broad forest swathes in various natural and production conditions of the developed cutting areas. The results obtained made it possible to assess the potential for reducing the number of trees cut for forwarding trails when carrying out shelterwood felling and to analyze the performance of the harvester for various technological schemes of work on cutting areas with broad forest swathes.
