<![CDATA[Felling trees in private forests planted with agroforestry patterns requires techniques with a low impact on the residual stands. The felling technique differs from the techniques used in industrial plantation forests and natural production forests. One of the felling techniques used in private forests is the tree felling technique with rope-assisted pulling. The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the tree felling technique with rope-assisted pulling in private forests. The study was conducted in the Kostajasa private forest cooperative, Central Java Province. The study was conducted in four private forests that were being cut. Data was collected through direct measurements in the field and interviews with the felling team. Indicators used to measure the effectiveness of the tree felling techniques with rope-assisted pulling included felling errors, hang-up, and barber chairs. The study showed that felling errors are more common than hang-up and barber chairs. The study showed that most felled trees do not fall in the desired direction. The tree felling technique with rope-assisted pulling resulted in 21% of felling errors, including hang-ups and barber chairs, while only 2% of trees were felled with hang-ups and barber chairs. This is expected because the felling team is less skilled and there are no guidelines for felling techniques using ropes in private forests. This study recommended structured training for felling teams to improve their abilities and skills.Penebangan pohon di hutan rakyat yang ditanam dengan pola agroforestri menuntut teknik penebangan yang berdampak rendah terhadap tegakan tinggal. Teknik penebangan yang digunakan di hutan rakyat berbeda dengan teknik penebangan yang digunakan di hutan tanaman industri maupun hutan alam produksi. Salah satu teknik penebangan yang digunakan di hutan rakyat adalah teknik penebangan pohon dengan bantuan penarikan tali. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengukur efektivitas teknik penebangan pohon dengan bantuan penarikan tali di hutan rakyat. Penelitian dilakukan di koperasi hutan rakyat Kostajasa, Provinsi Jawa Tengah. Penelitian dilakukan di empat petak tebang hutan rakyat. Data dikumpulkan melalui pengukuran langsung di lapangan, dan wawancara dengan tim penebang. Indikator yang digunakan untuk mengukur efektivitas penebangan adalah kesalahan arah rebah, pohon menyangkut dan unusan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kesalahan arah rebah banyak ditemukan daripada pohon menyangkut dan unusan. Teknik penebangan pohon dengan bantuan penarikan tali paling banyak menghasilkan kesalahan arah rebah, pohon menyangkut dan unusan, yaitu sebesar 21%. Sementara pohon yang ditebang menyangkut dan memiliki unusan hanya 2%. Hal ini nampaknya disebabkan oleh kemampuan tim penebang yang belum memadai dan tidak adanya standar prosedur kerja penebangan menggunakan tali di hutan rakyat. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan perlunya pelatihan secara terstruktur untuk pekerja penebangan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan mereka.]]>
