Forwarder vs mud

Подробнее о видео

This video shows a specialized forestry machine known as a forwarder, working in very difficult terrain conditions. The machine has a green cab and is equipped with a hydraulic arm (crane) with a grapple for handling logs.

What is most notable about the video is that the machine is operating in extremely swampy and muddy terrain. Standing water and deep mud can be seen around the machine, indicating very challenging working conditions. Despite these adverse conditions, the machine continues to operate thanks to its specialized low-pressure, high-contact tires, specifically designed for this type of soft terrain.

At the rear of the machine, a load of stacked logs can be seen. The articulated arm is in a working position, likely loading or unloading timber. The environment is a mixed forest with tall trees, both coniferous and deciduous, some without leaves, suggesting it could be during autumn or winter.

This type of scenario is common in forestry operations in regions with wet soils or during rainy seasons, where timber extraction must continue despite difficult terrain conditions.
