In Technodiversity, the total harvesting process normally is seen as a combination of several sub-processes. Each sub-process has a certain degree of mechanization. The degree of mechanization of the total method is given by the combination of these single degrees. There are five degrees of mechanization: (fully) manual method, partly motor-manual method, (fully) motor-manual method, partly mechanized method, fully mechanized method.
If both sub-processes are done by motor-manual work, the total process is a fully motor-manual method (or simpler: motor-manual method).
Examples are seldom; in practice we sometimes see a chainsaw and a motor-manual winch.
