Tim Cotton is back with some more weird waggons from Sweden. "Brian, the Volvo with the boom arm and following Scania was apparently repairing cracks in the road. It went up and down very slowly just south of Brunflo, near Ostersund." Now click through here for more...

 "The other Volvo (pictured below) had a demountable flatbed. The extra lights are so you can see moose (and also maybe to scare them off!). Tim"

And now for some really interesting news! Tim tells me he has his own blog too. (It's a disease mate but a good one). "Just HH stuff. Go back for the Swedish heavy pics it's at 
www.heavyhaulage.blogspot.com"

And just to finish here's one of those strange logging machine shifters. Tim says: "Brian, Here's another I forgot the Scania passed me unloaded too - but this pic doesn't solve the mystery either. They were all taken on the road between Sundsvall and Trondhiem near Brunflo. Tim." Well fortunately recent comments posted explain this configuration (I think!)

Hi Tim!

This Scania 143H 400 hp is atransporter for Harvesters and Forwarders. These machines are really high and to move them they suits perfect to the truck and come very low from the ground. This truck supercedes truck and trailer so to speak. It can carry 19 tons. In Sweden most 3-4 axle trucks have the last axle as a liftaxle because they only drive on one axle. It save rubber.
