A harvester (1), comprising a harvester aggregate (2) for felling, trimming and preparing tree trunks, a first measuring device (I) provided in connection with the harvester aggregate (2) for measuring of at least one dimension of a tree trunk. The harvester comprises a second measuring device (II) for measuring a feature of the first measuring device, whereby said feature is an attribute reflecting the capability of the first measuring device to measure said dimension correctly, and a control unit (11) configured to make a comparison between an actual value (a) of the measured feature and a target value (β) of said feature, whereby the target value is indicative of a state of the first measuring device, where its measurement of said dimension is considered to be correct.

The invention relates to a method in mechanical timber harvesting. In the method a data system (41) is utilized, in a display device (17) in connection with which previously collected data on a forest machine (10) and/or the surroundings of the forest machine (10) are displayed as a visual element (25). The surroundings of the forest machine (10) are observed using one or more optical devices (28). The observations are recorded time-linked in the data system (41) as a window (42) to be shown in the display device (17) for later utilization. The invention also relates to a system in mechanical timber harvesting.

A method includes accessing a first dataset including aerial imagery data, accessing a second dataset including property boundary data, and identifying property boundaries associated with a geographic area. A plurality of artificial-intelligence (AI) models are applied to the datasets to identify and compute information of interest. Based on the first dataset and constrained by the property boundaries, a building detection model can be applied to identify a building footprint, and a tree detection model can be applied to identify one or more trees. An estimated distance can be determined between each of the trees and a nearest portion of the building footprint as separation data, which can be compared to a defensible space guideline to determine a defensible space adherence score. A wildfire risk map can be generated, including the defensible space adherence score associated with the geographic area.

A material reducing apparatus includes a reducing head that includes a rotary reducing component that carries a plurality of cutters. The reducing head includes a thrown object deflector positioned proximate the rotary reducing component. The thrown object deflector is configured to limit at least one of a distance and a direction that objects can be thrown by the rotary reducing component.

A hoisting apparatus includes a rotation device with connectors for connecting pressure-medium lines to a rotation device, a boom, from which the pressure-medium lines are arranged to lead to the rotation device, and a pivoted joint for suspending the rotation device on the boom. The pivoted joint includes two consecutive pivots in a longitudinal direction of the rotation device. The rotational axes of the pivots are at right-angles to each other. The pressure-medium lines are routed between lugs of the pivot on a boom side of the pivoted joint, past the connectors of the rotation device in the longitudinal direction of the rotation device, to turn towards the connectors to form a hose loop and then routed to the connectors of the rotation device. The pressure-medium lines are arranged on both sides of the rotation device related to a plane defined in the longitudinal direction of the boom and the longitudinal direction of the rotation device.
