Driven forestry trailer mechanism

[David Riding]

How does the 4wd work on the farmi / nokka / Weimer etc, trailers, I have seen the cone mechanism between the wheels but wondered if others have a different system?

The Farma trailer has a cage drive which fits between the tyre pattern and provides good traction. The cage does not slip on the tyres and if the going gets too bad when fully loaded the pressure relief valve will prevent damage. I will try and get a new video on our website to show it in action, working on a terrible site at the minute and couldn't get in empty, let alone loaded with out it. Its a very good value for money option

Nathan do you know of any smaller driven crane trailers, with a good crane and float tires? Looking to go behind a larger hp alpine tractor so could be either tractor hydraulics or pto driven.

Looking for 4-5 ton capacity.

Hi there,

 

we only stock the farma drive trailer and the Alstor 8x8. there are small drive trailers on the market, but look at them carefully, and view them working. some are not very capable.

 

if its a small machine your after with high outputs have a look at our Alstor mini-forwarders. they are unrivalled for terrain capability, but are not a cheap product. We do have a used one in Sweden available at the minute for £24,000 plus vat. or the new 810 models start at £36,000 plus vat and shipping.

 

All the best with your research if i can be of help let me know.

 

Trying to get new videos on youtube this week
