The Bruunett leightweight 8 wheeled forwarder was one of the early machines capable of carrying timber loads in sensitive and soft forest sites very efficiently. The Scandinavian machines were brought into the country when first thinning operations became increasingly mechanised and this particular machine in 1980 must have been in the forefront of the imports.

No information on machine, site or driver but the model type name on the body is 578P fitted with a Cranab crane.
