Equipment Development Progress Report, Mechanical Tree Lifting

As many of you know, the Development Center has been assigned a project to develop a mechanical tree lifter. I would like to address most of my remarks today to this project -- what we have done, what we are doing and what are our plans for the future. Mechanical lifting isn't new. Sometime ago you probably read a brief article on a mechanical tree lifter in Tree Planter's Notes. This lifter was developed by the Georgia Forestry Commission and was moderately successful, its main weaknesses being in rapid wear and slippage of the lifting belts.
