APF 1990 – Held in the Midlands - FMG
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.
Note says ‘Bruun FMG’ and may refer to Bruunett base with FMG crane and 740 Harvesting Head. See PDF for another view of crane and head.
Can any of the above details be confirmed?
