Why Austrian Forest Owner Martin Schmidt Chose Multiforest
How do you know which forestry trailer will truly live up to your expectations? When Austrian forest owner Martin Schmidt decided to invest in a new forestry trailer, he carefully compared several well-known brands before making his choice. Several years later, he is still convinced he made the right decision. Read why the Multiforest MF 950 became his obvious choice.
After comparing several different brands, Martin Schmidt chose the Multiforest MF 950. Today, several years later, he is just as satisfied with his decision. For him, it comes down to high quality, thoughtful engineering, and a forestry trailer that delivers day after day.
Martin Schmidt from Austria: "We Are More Than Satisfied with Our Multiforest"
When Martin Schmidt from Oberbergern, Austria, decided to invest in a forestry trailer in 2019, he approached the decision the same way he had throughout his professional career by carefully comparing the available alternatives.
After 35 successful years in sales for the Austrian general importer of Mercedes-Benz trucks, Martin knew exactly what to look for when it came to quality, design, and long-term durability.
Today, Martin and his son-in-law manage approximately 65 hectares of forest. After comparing several different brands, their choice ultimately fell on the Multiforest MF 950.
"We felt that Multiforest had the best finish of all the trailers we looked at. The welds, surface preparation, and paintwork were all of a very high standard." – Martin Schmidt
Thoughtfully Engineered Down to the Smallest Detail
What impressed Martin the most was the overall quality and the well-thought-out design. He also highlights the trailer’s dimensions and proportions as a major advantage in daily forestry operations.
The track width, wheelbase, and crane positioning are all carefully designed, allowing the trailer to perform exceptionally well even on older forest roads and narrow passages where other trailers may struggle.
"The track width, wheelbase, and crane placement are extremely well thought out. It allows us to use older forest roads and narrow passages where many other trailers would have difficulties." – Martin Schmidt
A Crane and Hydraulic System That Stand Out
Another feature Martin appreciates is the crane design and hydraulic system. The crane and hose routing are professionally executed, with well-protected components and a design built to withstand years of demanding work.
Maneuverability is crucial in forestry operations, and here too the Multiforest receives high praise. The trailer follows the terrain smoothly and is easy to operate, even in challenging conditions.
"The crane and hose routing are professionally designed and installed. Everything is well protected and carefully thought through. Even after several years of use, everything still works perfectly." – Martin Schmidt
Stability That Inspires Confidence
Stability is another characteristic that has made a strong impression. A stable trailer provides confidence when loading and handling heavy timber, while also contributing to more efficient work in the forest.
Martin has also equipped his MF 950 with a winch, which has proven to be a highly appreciated addition and, according to him, works perfectly in combination with the trailer.
"We are extremely satisfied with the winch. It performs beyond our expectations and works perfectly together with the trailer." – Martin Schmidt
An Obvious Choice for the Future
After several years of ownership, Martin is clear in his assessment. The Multiforest has lived up to expectations and become an essential part of their forestry operations.
"We are more than satisfied with our Multiforest and would not hesitate to choose the same brand again for our next investment." – Martin Schmidt
Martin concludes with a message to the team behind the products:
"A big compliment to your employees. We have shown our trailer to many other forest owners and have recommended it several times. You can clearly see that this product was developed by people who truly understand forestry work." – Martin Schmidt
We would like to thank Martin for his kind words and wish him and his family continued success in their forestry operations.
