The guidelines describe the use of machines and mechanisms for integrated mechanization of work in forestry. The technologies of work in nurseries, in the creation of forest crops in felling and in carehouses are given. The use of machines and mechanisms for performing technological operations is considered. Methods for calculating traction resistance during the movement of machines and combining them with tractors of different traction classes are given . Issues of studying the parameters of machines and mechanisms used in forestry are considered. The main characteristics of machines and mechanisms, the calculation of the replacement performance of machine-tractor units, the study of the patency of wheeled tractors, as well as the technical characteristics of serial wheeled and tracked tractors.
