Abstract
Today, during logging and timber transport works, most of the equipment is used, which was put into serial production in the sixties and seventies. Due to the lack of own funds, the enterprises of the forest complex have not upgraded machines for forestry works and equipment in recent years. In the structure of the existing fleet of equipment 80% is fully depreciated equipment, which must be upgraded or written off, and the disposal rate is 10 times higher than the renewal rate. The existing repair policy was formed in the premarket conditions at the appropriate ratios of prices for raw materials and machinery. At that time, the current concept of technical control of machinery for forestry work was created: tolerances, regulations, standards, etc. In the current economic environment, new approaches are needed to form a methodology for technical control and repair of machinery for forestry work. Technical support of operation of machines for forestry work can be considered as a tool to manage the stock of their potential, laid down in the manufacture and renewed (restored) during technical inspection and repair. Determining the moment to carry out work to restore the technical condition of the machine depends on various factors, often contradict each other. This contradiction is the initial prerequisite for finding optimal solutions among the many possible. In view of the above, it should be noted that relevant are research aimed at improving the technical control, repair and operation of machinery for forestry work. The article presents an analysis of methods of technical operation of machines for forestry work with consideration of the issues of saving their resources.
