Loading crane (FIG. 54) 

The loading crane makes it much easier to load 
large logs. 
Secure the wire on the end of the log. When the 
log comes up to the machine, move the wire and 
attachment approximately 1 metre along the log. 
This makes it possible to lift the log, which then 
hits the trapping arm and the log is lifted up. As 
the crane arm is anchored to the chains, which 
attempt to centre the arm, the log is transported in 
over the cart and the brake is released on the 
winch and the log is then loaded in the cart. 
 

Loading plate (FIG 55)  

When the machine is used without a timber cart 
the loading plate can be a good option when 
loading a drawn load. The loading plate makes it 
easy to winch up logs from behind. The loading 
plate is easy to retrofit. It is available in two 
versions. On the Flex model, it automatically 
follows the adjustable accessory mount when it is 
moved forward and backward. The other loading 
plate is handled manually.

 

 

Combi-bed (FIG. 56) 

The combi-bed is a fixed bed without a tip function 
and with a high tailboard that can be opened. The 
combi-bed fits on the timber cart (FIG 50). With 
the tailboard lowered it is easy to load and winch 
in elk and other loads from behind. 
 
 
 

 

 

Tipping bed (FIG. 57) 

The bed is tippable in combination with the winch. 
The side panels are removable. 
 
 
 
 
 

 
Spikes for the caterpillar track 
(FIG 58) 

The caterpillar track can be equipped with spikes 
that can be retrofitted. The spikes are also fitted 
as standard on some models.
