Tuppco at APF 2026: Celebrating 50 Years of the APF Forestry & Arboriculture Show

The team at Tuppco had a fantastic time at APF 2026 at Ragley Hall, celebrating an incredible 50 years of the APF show.

Held every other year, APF is a major event in the forestry, arboriculture, woodland management and outdoor machinery calendar. For Tuppco, it was a great opportunity to catch up with customers, meet familiar faces and see some of the latest machinery, equipment and innovations available to the forestry industry.

A Great Day at APF 2026

There is always something new to discover at APF, and 2026 was no exception.

From forestry machinery and specialist equipment to demonstrations and competitions, the show provided a brilliant snapshot of the technology and skills being used across the forestry and woodland industries.

For the team at Tuppco, one of the highlights was simply being able to catch up with so many of our customers. Events like APF are a great opportunity to step away from the day-to-day and have a proper conversation about the machinery people are using, the challenges they face and what they are looking for next.

It was also a chance to look at both new and existing forestry equipment and see how developments in machinery could help make demanding forestry and land-management jobs more efficient.

Celebrating 50 Years of APF

APF 2026 was particularly special as the event celebrated its 50th anniversary.

Over the years, APF has become an important meeting point for professionals working across forestry, arboriculture, woodland management and related industries. The 2026 event brought together machinery manufacturers, equipment suppliers, forestry professionals, contractors and customers for a packed few days at Ragley Hall.

For anyone involved in the forestry industry, it is a great opportunity to see machinery working in real-world conditions, compare different equipment and keep up with the latest developments in the sector.

Incredible Talent at the Chainsaw Sculpting Competition

Another major highlight was the chainsaw sculpting competition.

The level of talent on display was incredible. The speed round was particularly impressive, with competitors working against the clock to transform timber into some genuinely beautiful pieces.

But it wasn’t just the speed round that caught our attention. The main chainsaw sculpting competition produced some amazing work and was a brilliant demonstration of what can be achieved with skill, creativity and a chainsaw.

Watching the competitors turn raw timber into detailed sculptures was a real highlight of the show and showcased a very different side of the forestry and chainsaw world.

Seeing the Latest Forestry Machinery

Events such as APF are also important for keeping up with the latest developments in forestry machinery and equipment.

The forestry industry continues to evolve, with machinery increasingly designed to improve productivity, reduce the physical demands placed on operators and tackle difficult or challenging terrain.

At Tuppco, we are particularly interested in machinery that can provide practical solutions for forestry contractors, landowners, estates, grounds teams and other professionals working in demanding environments.

From specialist forestry equipment to remote-controlled machinery and remote mowers, there are now more options available for tackling difficult ground and challenging vegetation.
