Toy Forestry Harvesters & Forwarders
Harvesters and forwarders are really the same thing but simply used to grab and cut the tree trunks down in one go. The crane can maneuver in all directions with the grabber able to twist and turn with little restriction but a lot of skill needed by the driver.
In toy forwarders, they are used on there own or within the Bruder range available with a detachable trailer and centre articulated so they can move over rough terrain. Replica toy harvesters from Siku come in 1:32 and 1:72 scale in die-cast for realistic play deep in the forest.
