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

[County 764]

I knew I had a picture of that 250

 

Did the guy still have loads of forestry equipment for sale? there was an old-school but nice looking Ponsse for sale.

Yes he has a Ponsse and a 1840 forwarder that needs a bit of work and a couple of 6 wheeled valmets forwarders.

For transport, take out the 4 rear bolsters, grab one of the frames and pull, the rear section will fold up just at the middle of the rearmost wheel to make it shorter. Took me ages till I found that out!

At work today.All going well apart from a little problem with the dipper arm control, when you move the joystick the variable pump is not coming in. Works fine if you are using another control at the same time. seems like the spool is not sending the pilot signal to the variable pump???

Check the electric plug behind the cab and the spool valve electrics, all seem vunerable to weather, cover it all in grease!

Looks good Elf, maybe benefit from getting injectors done once you get a chance?

 

My Mate used to be fmg mechanic, liked the osa 250/1210 but hated the 810. Electrics on 250 used to be an issue and I also remember him saying there's a grease nipple somewhere awkward, if you don't get it then it's a machine splitting job to replace bearing. I'll ask him where it was next time I see him

Do you mean this 810?

[Wood wasp]

Yes that 810

 

He was there when bruunett, Lokomo, osa were all rebadged as fmg and underwent tweaks to design like Bruunett crane moving from roof to back of cab and rebadged as 810

I'll agree with electrical issues! The relays seem to go funny and ocillate so you have to tap them till they fail. Had trouble with crane not slewing, turns out it was a dodgy plug behind the cab where all the wires meet. Very few mechanical problems, crane is being rebuilt as that was very worn. As for the engine, good old perkins smokes like goodun as most do, injectors make no difference. They are rattly smoky things but seem to go on for ever! nice to see another one working as it should
