Operation: Thinning Techniques

T7M7G6M,00004AE -19-15JUN20-1/1

Select Thinning

This method is dependent upon finished crop stocking
levels, as this determines the area available to manoeuvre
a carrier between trees.

This method allows a reduction in paths cut from a block,
while still allowing access for extraction carriers.
