In the second of his two-part programme Lars von Rosen shows more machines at work in southern Sweden in 2005. Among the processors shown are an Atlas Königstiger and a Timbco Logmax 5000. Exciting footage shows Timberjack skidders operated by Bosnian contractors. Transporters include models from Sisu, Saurer and MAN. Perhaps the most striking scenes are those showing cranes and Svetrucks at huge timber stores, a paper mill and the Baltic port of Sölvesborgs.


		Austrian contractors were using this Atlas Königstiger able to work on gradients up to 45 degrees.

A 480 hp Mack engine powers this Sisu, one of the many trucks from that came from Finland.

		Bosnian contractors were using skidders that harked back to the 1960s.


At the Baltic port of Sölvesborgs it took just 15 hours to load 3000 cu m of birchwood on to the M/S Tidan.
