In Slovenia, most of wood skidding in being carried out with adapted agricultural tractors. The tractors must be appropriately upgraded for forestry work. The upgrade is always carried out in cooperation between the client and upgrade provider; that is the only way we can adapt to the individual wishes and demands of clients. The final upgrade adds 3000 kg to the tractor's weight, depending on the structure and implementation method of the upgrade. A survey carried out among five forestry management companies analyzed the number and brands of tractors used for forestry work in recent years. It has been established that the proportion of John Deere tractors has increased with previous years. The analyzed companies own different tractors, each one also owning a few models of John Deere tractors. The second part of the survey inquired about the satisfaction of tractor users with the tractor themselves and their equipment. Such data is important and useful when choosing machines and making new purchases.
