Felling is one of the dangerous activities in forestry and for that reason it is best to mechanise it. One person can operate a felling machine and cut about 500 trees a day. Females also operate felling machines. The committee witnessed a female who was busy felling trees. The machine cut the logs according to the customer's needs or specifications. Although the use of a machine goes against job creation efforts, Komatiland believes that more jobs are created in the value chain of processing the product.
