First thinnings have been neglected to great extent in Finland and Sweden due to high harvesting costs. The whole-tree bundler was developed in Finland by Fixteri Oy in order to rationalize the integrated harvesting of small-diameter energy wood and pulpwood and to reduce transportation costs through load compaction. In the work study of Finnish Forest Research Institute (Metla) and Skogforsk (Sweden), the performance level of the new Fixteri whole-tree bundler was over two times higher compared to previous model.
