The aim of the study was to determine the impact of the harvester cutting head feed roller type on the mechanical damages of processed roundwood timber in post manufacturing. The study presents the comparison of the gentle Moipu plate wheel rollers and conventional feed rollers having bigger spikes (hereinafter named - conventional feed rollers). The total amount of segments processed with the gentle Moipu plate wheel rollers was 2199, whereas the amount of segments processed using the conventional feed rollers was 5308. When processing roundwood with the gentle feed rollers, in the 1st flow 8.2% of timber was rejected as substandard due to defects. The corresponding figure in the 2nd flow was 5.2% of the material in which the damage in the form studs was caused by the feed rollers. When processing the timber with conventional feed rollers, the percentage of the damage – dents caused by these rollers in the 1st flow was 26.7%, in the 2nd flow – 43.7% and in the 3rd flow only 2.7%. Using the method of characteristics proportion comparison, significant differences have been observed between feed rollers (t = 17.8 is greater than t sub(0.05;∞) = 1.96).
