APF 1990 – Held in the Midlands – Timbertec 950
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.
This is an Irish contribution to the timber harvesting menu – Timbertec 950 TH with a Pika harvesting head.
Coincidently one of the men standing with blue tie is Alan Stevenson Assistant Conservator from North Scotland Conservancy Office.
