kscarbel2 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 KrAZ Trucks / December 5, 2016 The Christmas and New Year holidays are on the horizon and everybody young and old are waiting for their favorite winter holiday. Contributing to the occasion, a new KrAZ model 6446 all-wheel-drive tractor, popular with Ukraine’s logging industry, was chosen to retrieve an 86-year-old 26-meter-tall fir tree from the Ivano-Frankovsk region for public display in the center of Sofiyskaya Square in Kiev where holiday celebrations will take place. A KrAZ-255B crane truck, the legendary predecessor to the 6446, supported the tree’s mounting. Few heavy trucks are capable of traveling deep into the forest to retrieve such a tree, but the 6x6 model 6446 was easily up to the task with its famous off road credentials. The 6446, with a gross combination weight rating of 34 metric tons both on and off road, excels in forestry applications. Very soon, the huge tree will be decorated with thousands of decorations made in Yavorov, and wrapped with 3 kilometers of lighting. The Christmas tree opening will take place on Monday, December 19, on the day of St. Nicholas. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
