Currently, production tests of the operational efficiency of such machines are being conducted in the Irkutsk region, but, unfortunately, no attention is paid to the environmental efficiency of their operation. The article substantiates the need for a theoretical and experimental study of the negative impact of wheeled felling-skidding-processing machines on the soils of logging sites on slopes. The study should be based on an analysis of the development of logging machine designs, technological options for their use, and an analysis of modern scientific research in this field. Based on the review and analysis of scientific literature, data from the National Association of Timber Manufacturers «Russian Forest», and the Association of manufacturers of machinery and equipment of the Lestech forest complex, it is shown that the felling-skidding-processing machines of the Austrian family company Konrad Forsttechnik GmbH have very good prospects for wide distribution in various natural production conditions of logging enterprises in Russia, mainly in rough terrain conditions.
