Interesting machine! I do like those front skis!
I've seen those tracks on Dextas.
Is that a crane you have on the back?

Thanks!
Its a 3 ton winch on the back. I think there were a boom available to use if for a kind of crane (for loading a timber trailer).

yes, 3 ton is what it's rated for. This was a typical forestry setup in Norway, before the larger tractors were availble.

Thanks! Everything was made in Norway, I guess in the 50's. The halftracks are a copy of the canadian "bombardier". We have them for the Major too
Here's some pictures from the past (found them online, not my equipment
)

Yes, I have never seen front skis! Mainly because, there isn't any snow in the Philippines, just cold weather on december to january.
I think the skis would come in handy if you don't want to replace the front bearings!
What did the Super-4 and the "other fergie" do at the back of the 3rd pic?

Now that's real cool, literally. I must remember to gaze at your pics tomorrow whilst we are sweltering in 35 to 40C heat -- it might cool me down a bit.
But tell me, how are the front [bogey] wheels attached to the tractor? Try as I might your pics 4 & 5 don't appear to show any axle.

I had just cleared snow with the 654 Super-4
The fergie is a TEF diesel, and I am fitting halftracks and trading for a 62 super major

I'll take some pictures of the axle setup for the bogey wheels
