APF 1990 – Held in the Midlands - Huet
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 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 indicates that this is a Belgian Thinning harvester and appears to have the brand name Huet. It looks as though this is a machine that works with felled trees only but comments and information welcome.
