A method for management of a land base includes interfacing a machine or equipment to a computer running a geographical information system (GIS) application such that the computer is configured to monitor the operations performed by the equipment or machine on the land base and store the operations as map points, lines, or polygons on at least one data layer within the GIS application. The method further includes displaying the GIS application to the operator at the point and time of performing the operations.

A method of and arrangement for monitoring the collection of plant material includes the following steps and apparatus for executing these steps, respectively: collecting plant location and attribute data with respect to plant material, before and/or during and/or after harvesting the plant material, providing the plant location and attribute data on a collecting vehicle adapted to collect the harvested plant material, moving the collecting vehicle to the harvested plant material based on the plant location data, collecting the harvested plant material, sensing attribute data of the harvested plant material before and/or during and/or after the collecting, and comparing the sensed attribute data with the plant attribute data and generating an output dependent on the result of the comparison.

A seat (104) control arrangement of a forest machine comprising a rotating seat (104) having a seat (104) actuator configured to rotate (360) the seat (104), means for determining at least a position of the seat (104) and a position of a tip (112) of a boom (110, 112) of the forest machine and a processing circuitry (114) configured to provide, based on the determination of the means, a control signal to the seat (104) actuator to rotate (360) the seat (104) such that the position of the seat (104) follows the position of the tip (112) of the boom (110, 112) with a predetermined deviation when the position of the tip (112) of the boom (110, 112) deviates from a base centre line of the forest machine, and wherein the predetermined deviation is towards the base centre line of the forest machine from the position of the tip (112) of the boom.

A condition of at least one structural part (11) of a working machine (10) is determined by determining a computational position of the first structural part (11) on the basis of the computational model of the working machine (10) and determining an actual position of the first structural part (11) by detecting means (22). The condition of the at least one structural part (11) is determined on the basis of the difference between the computational position of the first structural part (11) and the actual position of the first structural part (11).

The disclosure relates to a forestry system (1). The forestry system comprises a harvester (10) comprising an electrical energy generator, and a plurality of self-driving shuttles (20a-f) for transporting logs harvested by the harvester. Each shuttle comprises an electrical energy storage and at least one electrical motor powered by the electrical energy storage. The electrical energy storage of said shuttle is configured to be coupled to the electrical energy generator and charged thereby. The harvester is configured to load a harvested log onto a coupled shuttle and charge the electrical energy storage of said coupled shuttle using electrical energy from the electrical energy generator.

to an apparatus and method for transporting wood in steep terrain, the apparatus including a mobile winch and a mobile transport vehicle which connectable to the winch via a cable and has a chassis. The winch includes a winch drive for winding and unwinding the cable and the transport vehicle includes a travel drive for driving the chassis. The transport vehicle and the winch are connected by a data connection. Further, the transport vehicle includes a sensor for determining a direction of travel relative to the cable winch and a data processing device is provided which is connected to the travel drive and the winch drive so that, using the data processing device, a cable speed and a travel drive speed can be adjusted in an automated manner depending on a direction of travel of the transport vehicle.

The present disclosure relates to a mobile machine, in particular a forestry machine, which has a chassis and a drive unit which has an internal combustion engine and at least one hydraulic pump driven by the internal combustion engine, which hydraulic pump supplies a hydraulic system with pressure medium. The internal combustion engine with the hydraulic pump is located in an engine compartment formed inside a hood-like housing. The machine has no driver workplace for an operator and is in the form of a machine that can be remotely controlled by means of a remote control. Inside the hood-like-housing there is at least one storage compartment that can be heated by the waste heat of the drive unit.
