Small Tracked forwarder

What make is it? or what is it based on? it's not a John Deere is it?

Really neat looking setup is the "trailer" part hydraulically driven?

Sorry for all the questions.

Is that a bv206 base unit ? It looks the ticket! I've been looking at the Riko 3.8m crane with a possible 1m extension any thoughts?

Hi mine is based on a Volvo bv202, powered by a Nissan sd33 non turbo manual box and a ford digger cab with a John Deere 6920 bonnet! The back end is driver by the rear prop shaft it's taken a bit of doing!

Great looking machine! Always fancied doing something similar but don't have the mechanical/fabrication skills.

 

I have a trailer/crane from Riko - Country 480, 3.8m with a meter extension - seems to be well made, nice to operate, well built etc. Always amazed at what it will lift for its size. Agree with TCD though, Farma are brilliant cranes

Thank you for the comments I wanted it to do a job and not look like it it was made in my workshop. Though it is handy to have a full machine shop, I'm ag enginer and my dad is a Miller turned by trade( he designed and makes the panel master fencing panel machines)

The next one I would like to build would be hydrostatic drive and a newer type cab

The Riko crane does seem to be about right but I'm going to get prices from farms too
