A cost accounting analysis of full-scale logging operations in old-growth redwood during 2 years revealed that it cost 12.24 per M bd. ft. (gross Scribner log scale) to get logs on trucks. Road development costs averaged another 5.19 per M bd. ft. Felling-bucking production was calculated by average tree d.b.h. Both skidding and loading outputs per hour were determined by average log volume for a landing area and for a short time period. Costs of logging were highest on shelterwood, and lowest and about equal on the selection and clear cuttings.
