ABSTRACT
The study fulfilled under the frame of the project of 6th General Program of EC showed that partially mechanized logging methods prevailed in Lithuania and other countries of Central
Europe. The main problem is logging in wet leafy forests and the transportation
of big diameter trunks. Forest soil protection recommendations for logging are
predicted in legal documents of Austria, Lithuania, Poland, Hungary and Germany.
Only in Lithuania and Germany the logging employs skid road system in the forest.
Key words: wood preparation technology, harvester, hardwood.
