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

[Ben1]

Reluctant to as I've never done it before. Would imagine the import etc is a bit of a hassle! But saying that the pound is quite stong against the euro right now.

830 will perhaps be my next machine since I can't find a TJ810 either! Failing that it will be an 840 or 5F. elmsdown - SH from Logset had your 830 on his radar last time he emailed me; I've been looking for a new forwarder for some time; wanted a Rottne F12 but the early bird caught the worm and I was too slow.

 

SH did have it on his radar this week as was looking at the logset 5f but reluctant due to rear bunk extension being weak. I know the 840 at rcfm been worked really hard all its life and don't want to go that big.

 

Wouldn't mind a rottne myself but just don't exist for the age and hours I want.

Yes that 840 has that look about it doesn't it!

This one sounds reasonable and with tracks and chains

Osa 250 problem, no drive to rear wheels! Had a driver on it yesterday as i was busy winching and this morning he say it gets stuck easy? So had a quick look and there is no drive at the rear wheels, rear prop is turning and taking drive into the rear diff, so halfshafts or drive chain problem? He said he never heard any noise. Any advise or diagrams or parts, so now i,ve got 2 forwarders that only drive on the front bogie1 At least i have the parts to sort out the Bruunett

Could be halfshaft, when we bought ours it had popped one and the seller had one made, cost about 900 squids though. Pull them and check, if not maybe diff has gone. Bogies are gear or chain driven so then check those I suppose l. Hopefully just be a halfshaft. :-)

He'll know what it is and have the parts...

Sorted it, the allenbolt that screws in to the end of the halfshaft had come loose, allowing the halfshaft to slide inwards and disengaging from the drive sprocket in the bogie, took ten mins to sort.
