Abstract
The results of a test in which a tree was felled to impact the ROPS of a rubber tired skidder are described. The rationale used to select the tree is reviewed and estimates of the engineering characteristics of the tree are given. The results of a static deflection test to duplicate the residual deflection of the ROPS resulting from the falling tree test is also discussed.
