When using multi-operation machines on felling cuttings, it is very important to combine two conditions: high-quality cutting and efficient use of machinery.

To achieve this, it is necessary, on the one hand, to establish the correct motivation of harvester operators, on which the quality of cuttings depends directly, and on the other hand, the correct motivation of the managers of the leshozes on which the competent, efficient and durable work of such expensive equipment as a harvester depends.

On March 14, 2017, Vimek AB, a private company with limited liability, was opened in the Republic of Belarus.

On the supply of forest machines Vimek in the framework of the project "Development of the forest sector of the Republic of Belarus"

The cooperation of the Swedish company Vimek AB with the forestry of the Republic of Belarus began in 2010. The first 12 Vimek forest machines were purchased by the Leskhozes of the Brest GPLF in 2010-2011, including 8 Vimek 404SE harvesters, 4 Vimek 608 forwarders. Experience in the operation of this technique showed that in Belarus these machines can be used both on thinning and on pass cuttings, as well as other cuttings. They can also be used for cutting in young animals, for which you need to install additional equipment of OliverWimmer.
