Forwarder is a Brunnet. My friend bought it in October 2010 for moving logs on his wood chip site and it must have had nearly every hydraulic pipe replaced - it would burst one every time it did a full days work!! This machine actually replaced the tracked dumper and crane the Mr Blair is now the proud owner of. Problem with the Brunnet (other than putting you on first name terms with local hydraulic specialists!!) was the crane operation was very slow to load and unload.

 

The wood is a beautiful place. About 40 acres if I remember correctly and had not been touched for about 40 years.

Mind you don't get tugged with those illegal number plates on your truck. Pre 72/73 vehicles only allowed to carry black/silver plates.
