The skidder has a badge indicating it is managed by the Forestry Commission Machinery Research and Development section. There is no indication whether they had any hand in the development of this machine or merely looking at its operational capabilities and working on techniques to maximise its efficiency.

Can anyone give a history of the development of this skidder model?
