I think this could be Sandy Powers he was working in the Glenelg area at this time, the same man and machine had contracts on Panmure estate a few years earlier.If I remember correctly he bought this forwarder second hand from Finland along with a very early type Bm volvo timber harvester.

I remember Sandy Powers had a fully rotating grab installed on the Cranab lift arm hence the red color, this made it much easier in line thinnings and rack roads. Comment left on 06 January 2017 at 13:07 by

Also looking at the pdf photos the tree stumps are far to high a real killer for a forwarder. Comment left on 07 January 2017 at 00:18 by
