It is good to see that the Generation 2 machines are becoming more and more popular in Poland and people are seeing the advantages that are coming together with the FARMA G2 machines.
On these photos we have the T12 G2, which has thicker castings in the central section giving better possibilities of withstanding the forces from our cranes with large lifting torque. The trailer can be specially equipped, based on a number of options, direct from the factory. The FARMA C7.0 is one of the market's most well-thought out and best value-for-money cranes. The crane has a reach of 7.0 m with single extension. The lifting power and movement geometry are exceptional. The attractive design, together with the choice of material, give a low dead weight.
Customer in Czech Republic received his FARMA Grapple Skidder SG1000 TM which is a powerful tool for small and medium sized tractors and others machines such as shown on this photo. There are several models available depending on the requirement. The FARMA SG1000 TM is recommended to equip with winch - it becomes very handy in case of need for extracting timber from awkward felling locations and skidding it out of forest to a loading point.
Equipements Picken has been selling FARMA for many successful years already, but the last load they got from us was a BIGAB 12-15 which is the best-selling model in BIGAB product range. This model is used in a wide variety of areas from agriculture, energy, refuse disposal to installation and construction work.
The Equipements Picken is taking part of many exhibitions this year in Canada and United States! In two weeks time they will be at Woodsmen's Field Days in New York️ and in the end of August and throughout September you will have a change to meet them in Quebec at Expo-Champs 2018, Expo Brome Fair and Journée forestière et acéricole 2018!
BIGAB 12-15 made it to Canada
Picken's Equipement has been selling FARMA machines for years, now they received their first BIGAB order.
The year 2018 has been successful for Fors MW, and in order to carry on the same way, a good relaxing vacation is needed.
The whole factory in Saue will be closed from 9th of July up to 29th of July. The After Sales team will be available throughout the summer but also with reduced capacity and we are hoping for your understanding when the replies are taking slightly longer.
Also the blog and news section is taking a break and will be back again in August.
There are hundreds of dealers selling BIGAB and FARMA machine around the world and we are putting a lot of effort to bring our partners over to the factory so they could see the process of how the machines are built from scratch. Such events are also good to get straight feedback from the market and to hear what are the different needs and concerns when it comes to forestry equipment and heavy-duty vehicles.
This is exactly why we invited the Finnish dealers over. Approximately 2 weeks ago we welcomed them in the factory and the next day took them on the farm so they could get the feeling of operating the machines themselves. There were a lot of discussions going on about the market situation in Finland and great ideas were shared. Instead of writing a summary of the day we put together a short movie which says more than thousand words.

This weekend the Nordic and Baltic countries are honoring the longest day of the year. Celebrating this day has also been a long tradition in Fors MW where we each year gather everybody together and have a barbecue. So did we this year, but this time we had to sit inside because of the strong wind and rainy weather.
Thank you everybody who participated in organizing this day! We wish everybody a nice and also safe weekend!
The BIGAB season is in full swing. There are tens of BIGAB machines being sent out from our yard in Saue every week.
This year we have noticed bigger demand towards bigger BIGAB machines, such as BIGAB 20-24 which is made to transport heavy loads. The list of standard equipment on this machine is impressive, which makes it a perfect hooklift trailer to use it for transportion in many areas such as grit and sand up to crop harvesting.
