Tower yarders have recently been introduced to forestry in Turkey Clarification of the productivity and cost of logging using the tower yarder is often requested because the cost for machinery is a significant factor in all calculations concerning mechanized operations. Machines are often extremely expensive compared with the low cost of labor in developing regions, In this study. a new logging system using a tower yarder was compared with a conventional system using a stationary yarder in terms of productivity and cost. The research was conducted in the northeast of Turkey. in 1989 and 1992. The productivity of the tower yarder and the stationary yarder was found to be 5.655 m^3/h and 5.002 m^3/h. respectively. Harvesting cost was analyzed based on obscrved productivity. The harvesting costs of the tower yarder and the stationary yarder were found to be 47.410 TL/m^3 and 17.553 TL/m^3. respectively. With the tower yarder, the machine cost reached 93.1% of the harvesting cost while the machine cost using the stationary yarder reached 71.1%.
