I just returned from Ostersund in Sweden and saw some Forestry stuff being transported. I've included some photos of plant I saw such as the road-rail machine. There is more HH stuff (including windfarm transport) on my blog.   The above photos show conventional lowloaders. The ones below show rigid vehicles unlike anything I've seen before. I saw the Scania and Volvo unloaded and wondered what they were for and guessed they moved the forestry m/c's - the Scania then passed me the next day loaded.   Some plant   Volvo Logging truck  Tim

Very nice! That last logging truck looks awsome!
That backhoe is a Huddig 1160D, Huddig is one of the best backhoe manufacturers in the world. I used to drive a 1260 and there was no stopping it in the terrain.

Here are some more backhoe pics, another logger and one of a dockside machine I saw near Nykoping, South of Stockholm.      Volvo and Scania rule in Swedish logging (unsurprisingly) so this Merc is a little more unusual.  Tim
