Comparisons included three machine systems (three skidders) and a helicopter-yarded control that were field tested for harvesting a bottomland hardwood site under adverse conditions. The results also demonstrate a significantly greater number of tree stem count following the winter than the summer harvest. Results of the statistical analysis of soil bulk density indicate that the soil had partially recovered from machine traffic one year after harvest.}, number={5}, journal={Transactions of the ASAE}, author={Hassan, A.

The tractive pull/dynamic load ratio values were low (= 0.32) for all tire size/inflation pressure combinations and, when plotted against the travel reduction, appeared to be dependent on the tire inflation pressure.}, number={5}, journal={Transactions of the ASAE}, author={Hassan, A.

However, sorting and grading are still labor intensive. Three nurseries in the Southeast with varying degrees of sophistication in sorting and grading of pine seedlings were investigated. Samples of plantable and rejected seedlings were collected and analyzed to determine the nursery shed performance. A vision system was utilized for seedling measurements and the results were analyzed using ANOVA analysis. The nursery with no sorting capabilities was the most efficient, indicating that cultural practices might be an alternative to sorting. The percentage of rejects in the plantable samples was low for the nurseries with manual labor indicating the high training for sorting, however, the percentage of plantables in the reject samples was high, indicating possible waste of good nursery seedlings.}, number={6}, journal={Transactions of the ASAE}, author={Hassan, A.E. and Thomaz, A.S. and Roise, J.P.}, year={1992}, pages={1981} } @article{hassan_tohmaz_roise_1991, title={Evaluation of manual sorting in three pine nurseries}, number={91-7506}, journal={Paper (American Society of Agricultural Engineers)}, author={Hassan, A.
