Date Added: 01 November 2021 Contributor: Norman Davidson Year of Photo: 1990 Picture No: 5218

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.

No information on this machine combination. Can anyone provide any details?

Its an MB Trac base developed by Mercedes-Benz, these were also used in the Agricultural sector and were built between the early seventies in to the early nineties.
The Harvesting head is a Pika.
