Abstract
An average yarding distance model for rectilinear skidtrail layout from a centralized landing is given. The model is appropriate to the evaluation of some row thinning designs in plantations. The theoretical basis for formulas used in the model is briefly described. The model was coded for computer solution and applied to a hypothetical example the results of which are presented.
