Malwa 560F - Forestry Forwarder — Treeline Woodlands

 

That Malwa looks a nice machine. I wonder why they decided on 6 wheel instead of 8 though? Be interesting to get a nose round it on Thursday at APF.

The Malwa 560 looks very good. The 8m reach crane would make that an ace thinning machine. Shame they don't do a 8 wheel version of the base unit.

That Irish Farmers Journal link is mostly behind a paywall, here's an article on the same machine from the Farming Independent:

Doesn't create a great impression, does it?

 

They've had a good bit of press coverage for the launch, you'd think they'd have made sure the website quoted in all the articles was actually working.

 

They have a bunch of pictures on their Facebook page:

Attached should be a scan of the IFJ article.

I gave them a quick ring today, very helpful indeed. The website will be live sometime this week-early next week. The machine will be appearing at the national ploughing championships towards the end of this month as well. The man I spoke with offered a free test drive down at their yard, might take them up on their offer as its just down the road from where I work.

Can anyone identify the make and model of the crane on my Osa 250?
