Purpose Built Forwarder Thread (OSA, FMG/Bruunett, Entracon, Norcar/Logset etc)

Thanks Jon,

 

Other than a single bay of 2.5's, have you tried loading them across the bunk? 2.5's seem popular round here atm so and that was one problem I had with the Weimer trailer.

 

Reach isn't massively critical as the last one was a massive 3m! Pretty sure would be able to get cleser to the wood with a purpose built too so even less manouvering to do.

 

I do like the look of the 820's but would be too scared about something going wrong with them too.

 

That processor looks just like what I had pictured in my head, though maybe a simple stroke one with no computer.

 

I reckon there's half a chance I can find one parked in a hedge back round here somewhere

 

Not really looked but I'd reckon there'd be plenty kicking about in scandinavia still.

You're not wrong there mate; I have no inkling how many are left in the UK???

 

Never entered my head to load sideways; going to have to try that but pins are 2.5 apart widthways...

[Chris Sheppard]

Any excuse for a road trip

 

Reckon there'd be a way of making it work to load sideways somehow, though might snag up on the bogeys if it's rough. Was jsut a thought.

Classic old video; some lovely 6 cylinder sounds too old black cab 860 yum yum

Chris S, 578 Bruunetts are very basic and reliable, good on fuel we use 20/30 litres a day, much more stable than a tractor trailer combo and dam good fun to drive.

Never seen that video some good info in there.

 

Eastern Europe seems to be where most of the 820 seem to be now.

Ok decision time: Fix difflocks or buy wheel chains?

 

Both would be nice but short term solution required...

[elfinwood saws]

Front difflock is easy, takes an hour to sort, remove rear floor panel in the cab and weld flat bar on to the end of the difflock spindle and cut slot in floor panel for flat bar to stick through and operate with your foot.

Went to see this yesterday???
