Dear friends in the UK-
Who does your cut and fill or is that a pre-existing road bed?
How steep of ground do you dare work with your horses?
You must have either a pulp or lumber mill near by to deal with those short lengths.
Your harness is comparable to ours in the U.S. and now I know where we get our basic design; in continental Europe the harness looks far different. There is no doubt that the Ardennes horse is superior for both ground leading and forwarding to what we call on this continent the "Belgian". Our Belgian is by all means more versatile than the Ardennes, but this fact is immaterial in the steep, challenging, confines of the forest. I'm impressed with how you've integrated your forwarder designs to fit your forestry and the relationship you've obviously forged with your public. What's there not to like?
