Pro-Silva's 20 metric tonne tilting forwarder at a forestry show in Germany?

Very interesting, thanks!

This looks like the 14 tonne earlier build ProSilva forwarder. Shows off tilt capabilities. The steering is supposed to give a fairly tight turning circle with no driveshafts in the articulation.

Getting rid of the driveshaft offers both advantages and disadvantages I'd guess.   How are the hydraulics powered?

Interesting.

Logset don't appear to have made any hybrid forwarders yet.(they do have wheeled hybrid harvesters)

Logset 8F GT, machine weight from 18 metric tonnes/ 40K lbs. Load capacity 15 metric tonnes/ 33K lbs. Combined from 33 metric tonnes/ 73K lbs loaded.
