Grandpa was very happy about the Hemek Showcase & I'm sure he will be surprised when I tell him how much views this has already gotten! Thanks for watching everyone! 😊
What a beautiful machine, so simple yet so effective. Looks so lovely with those round headlights and simple shapes ❤ These things must end up like the ship of Theseus, keep 'em running for long enough and almost every part is replaced at some point 😂
I especially love the control stickers that are in Swedish, from a time when localizations weren't that common 😄 Could be that it was purchased from Sweden since all the parts were from there too.
You're right, it is based on a tractor platform. I tried to look into some of the technical info and ask grandpa since I'm not really an expert 😄 It is an 8-wheel drive, chassis-steered forestry forwarder based on the Volvo BM tractor platform, and has the tractor engine, but I couldn't find the engine code. It is a four cylinder and maybe 4.2 liter if I'm correct. Thanks for watching and commenting! 😊

Looks like a County tractor. More info re the tractor unit would be good, eg, what is the drive system, engine and steering arrangements?

Agreed. That hood looks like a Ford. Dash is clearly not.
It does have some resemblance! The nose reminds me of a Ford tractor my friend's dad had 😄
Engine is a D42, front wheels are powered by chains going from the rear wheels. Trailer wheels are driven by tractors original pto, (ground speed)
