What's the barrel behind the harvester's cabin?

[@skogsforum]

They use it for carrying water. During spring, summer and early autumn (temp above 5 degr Celcius) the stumps are treated to protect the stand from root rot disease. Urea solution is automatically sprayed at the stump when cutting the tree and water is needed to mix the Urea-solution.

What happens with all the wood that is cut?

[@skogsforum]

It's pulpwood for the pulp industry. It ends up as paper, board, tissues etc
