Tohr Harvester working at Balbraidie, Kincardine Forest District 1990
The images are from photographic slides courtesy of Abbie Gordon, Banchory and shows a Tohr 987S working in clear fell conditions. This may have been part of a trial or demonstration of the machine. Any details and names would be very welcome.
Note that this machine has a Cranab 620 boom and a pale green painted harvester head – quite different to the paint colour on the base machine.
There is an interesting description of the origin and development of this early and innovative harvester in the following website:
