To Kersti...


And when it rains on Your parade, look up rather than down.

Without the rain, there would be no rainbow.

We wish You the happiest of Birthdays and many, many more to come!

Great work by hard – working dealers



To sell you need to have the things in yard so that the customer has different models to choose from says Johannes Nybacken from Norway’s most successful FARMA dealer under the name of Skogsverktöy. A motto that has proven very successful for Skogsverktöy that has sold FARMA for many years. Here at Fors MW, we are really happy for the nice cooperation!

The images can perhaps be seen as taken just for this occasion but we who keep track of the order book knows that there is seldom less FARMA on the yard than when these pictures were taken.

Yet another meeting

During two days the four of us have yet again meet without CE consultant agency to once again work through the manuals of the BIGAB instruction book. This is a long and hard work but one that we feel as a market leader that we owe it to ourselves to deal with and to our customer to be able to provide the best information available. The first comment from the agency was that we have a really good instruction book but as we always strive for perfection we feel a remake being in pipeline.

Success at the trade show



Such fantastic days we experienced in Jönköping, Sweden last week! It was a great response for our forest range and even though we know our market leadership, we are always astonished at the great response and interest. FARMA forest trailers with its crane range is currently the best sold trailer in Europe and the additional grapple range under the name FARMA Generation 2 has shown to beat all sales forecasts. Our old workhorse NIAB had also many interested customers now that the thinning season is approaching.


We would like to thank all visitors for a really nice trade show & we hope to soon see you again!

The time of Spirits has arrived...



Its believed to be dim and chilly ... not cold yet nor warm any longer ... something inbetween.

Quite like this time of Year.

Quite like the spirits themselves.

In constant motion between the two worlds.

Our forfathers held this belief close to their hearts and built a wall of differents traditions around it.

It was a custom for example to set a table for the spirits on Thursday nights in October and November. Head of the family then called up on the passed loved ones, asking them by name one after another, to join the family for supper. People believed in those days that the spirits could keep the cattle , crop and the family itself from harms way.In order for spirits to find their way the candles were lit on windows .

The time of Spirits was a time of calm and humble behavior.

In December , just before Christmas the spirits were let go with kind words of grattitude.

We dont set the tables any longer but we do light the candles carrying the tradition that took root hundreds of years ago...

14 of October in Estonian folklore...

We call it crown of fall. It marks the nearness of winter...


The sky puts on its wintercoat and at night, if you listen carefully enough, its almost possible to hear the first snow chrystas getting shaped and burnished to the last detail.


Anticipation is in the air and it fills you with every breath You take.

Friends came for a visit

Last week we had some dear friends of ours for a visit. It was our Swedish bank that paid us a visit in Estonia to catch up on recent development and to get acquainted with all the investments that has been made over the last couple of years. The bank by the name of Swedbank Sjuhärad has been our bank in Sweden throughout nearly all of our 20 years of journey and what a journey it has been. We have lived through ups and downs, in good times and in bad times but always supported by the bank. Necessary support to have when needed. It was two happy and impressed bankers that paid us a visit! Thanks for the visit!

I wonder...


I often wonder why people dont like this beautiful time of year?

Yes its dark outside but it makes You appreciate every little ounce of light.

Yes the leaves will be a memory soon but what a colourful farewell all around us.

Yes the weather is harsh but it feels so unspeakably good to come home after some time spent outdoors.

Yes the days are short but loneliness can be chased away with laughter in the company of friends and family.

And the whole summer You probaly told to Yourself that its impossible to finish this book that has been lying on Your bedside table since spring – well... theres plenty of time to do it now!

All seasons are beautiful for the person who carries happiness within.

We strive for perfection!

During the autumn we will spend time with an external consultant to review the CE marking of our hook lift trailers under the brand name BIGAB. Our trailers are of course CE certified to the standards that are available but we feel on the other hand, a responsibility as market leader to always stay one step ahead of all development, all around safety. Therefore, we have now brought in an outside consultant to jointly review the technical folder available for each model but also to re-evaluate the instruction manuals that our customers receive upon purchase. Everything can always be better is our motto here at Fors MW!

The incredible Hulk




The installation of the huge press is in continued progress at Fors MW. The “small” thing weights more than 3000 kg and has the pressing capacity of 3000 ton. We have now mounted the press together but still there is some small works to deal with. Soon however it is ready to be used to the great happiness of several other manufactures around Europe that has called us over and over again asking if we could produce also their needs of pressed sheets, an assistance which we of course could assist with as soon as our green incredible hulk is completely installed.
