APF 1990 – Held in the Midlands - FMI Keto
Association of Professional Foresters – National Forestry Machinery Demonstration is held every two years. The image is from a photograph collection that was originally stored at Kincardine Forest District.
There are no details about the machines other than some names. This period and previously saw the energetic burst of timber harvesting machine ideas with many different types of harvesting heads matched with both wheeled and tracked bases. Historically these were important stages in the evolution of mechanised harvesting.
The text reads as – Chief FMI Keto
Assume the Keto refers to the harvesting head which is shown in close up in the PDF below.
Any comments and historical detail very welcome.
