Micro forestry

[Big J]

I see your point and I have been thinking about a small fowarder but I would be keen to put the two together and see the difference in what they can pull out as a lot of the speed comes with how the timber is presented in the first place

 

True. A bit of stacking by the cutters helps a lot, as well as there being minimal brash over the stacks.

 

Looking forward to seeing the Kinetic 8x8 demonstrator

Yes I am are you having it out to you?

[Big J]

No, but I am aware that it should be being demonstrated in the UK May/June, and I'll make an effort to go and see it.

Does anyone do a steering drawbar on a small forestry trailer? I've never seen one but could see the benefit.

 

Kranman and Avesta offers steering drawbars and rolldrive (4wd) on small trailers.

Good read of opinions on the kinetic here (need to translate it)

Big plus is standard crane is 4.7m opposed to alstors 3.5m and cheaper. Big drawback is can't drive it in reverse/loading position unlike alstor

as well as there being minimal brash over the stacks. :

 

Minimal is too much; shouldn't be any.

Alstor 3.8 with a 40 cm extention plus with bigger crane base will lift just under a ton
