You won't move as much once in wood but bit more flexibility with tractor/trailer combo.

Edit: good pics Elf

I've put box of EHC/ISP stuff up on Arbtrader. I got all the cards and levers tested/repaired and the levers are now showing nice smooth voltage increase. Unfortunately I got fed up with the poor wiring causing downtime so pulled all old ISP boxes etc out and fitted completely new system. A single refurbed ISP card costs £150 plus so bargain for someone running that system.

What is the function of that ram on the front bogie? Looks like it tilts the front wheels up, but why.

[Wood wasp]

lets machine turn tighter and can help get over obstacles. Not sure what size that machine is but the original Norcar was very small so didn't need low loader, I've seen them use small stack of pulp and lifting bogies to get onto lorry.

Anyone know how a osa 250 weighs please? extraction route crosses an 18 ton bridge.

[Wood wasp]

They're somewhere in region of 11t I think

 

Edit: they're heavier, brochure for my Lokomo says it weighs 11t. The osa is definitely heavier as along with visibly being bigger the lorry which moves them both feels the difference
