Just bought this!

It started life as a forwarder and was converted to harvester, so we have a Bruunett forwarder and harvester now.

cool is it for spares or are you going to putt it to work

[elfinwood saws]

It's going to work! It's a complete working machine other than the aircon needs regassing, it,s been stood a good while, needs a blast off and some paint.

What head is on it? Looks like a Keto?

[elfinwood saws]

Keto 51 HD head not alot of paint left on it, but it's in good working order.

The Ketos are good heads. The tracks work quite well on hardwoods too. Only problem is that the valve block is a little tight and if you break a hose in there you have to take off about 4 to do the one you need too.

Oh man Elf! You went and done it!

 

Is the front end 578 or 678? I'm guessing 6..?

 

I saw a gorgeous Valmet 820 yesterday - I WANT!

 

I've been offered an ok condition keto 100 head which would suit a track base; what do you reckon it's worth tho?

[elfinwood saws]

It's a 678 the photos dont do it justice, it,s all standed and in really good working order, it'l be out working in 2 weeks time in hardwood thinnings, it comes with approx three tons of spares and 4 spare wheels and good tyres. It's one of those deals you can't refuse.

I don't know what a Keto 100 is worth, just looked at the spec on them and it needs 190l/min to work it.
