APF 1990 – Held in the Midlands - Bruun Silvatec
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 – Bruun Silvatec
No markings visible on the base machine but the eight wheel configuration and paint colour in very reminiscent of the Bruunett forwarders. Has a OSA 363 crane and Silvtec harvesting head?
Any details very welcome.
