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

Tuppco had a fantastic time at APF 2026 at Ragley Hall, joining forestry, arboriculture, woodland management and outdoor machinery professionals to celebrate 50 years of the APF show.

Held every other year, APF is a major event in the forestry and arboriculture calendar, bringing together machinery manufacturers, equipment suppliers, contractors and professionals from across the industry.

For the Tuppco team, it was a great opportunity to catch up with customers, meet familiar faces and discover some of the latest machinery, equipment and innovations across the forestry and land management sectors.

A Great Day at APF 2026

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

From specialist forestry machinery and equipment to live demonstrations and competitions, the show provided an excellent insight into the latest technology, skills and equipment being used across the industry.

One of the highlights for Tuppco was catching up with customers and discussing the machinery they use, the challenges they face and what equipment they may need in the future.

The event was also a great opportunity to see forestry equipment in action and explore how new developments could help make demanding forestry, land management and grounds maintenance jobs more efficient.

Celebrating 50 Years of APF

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

Over the past five decades, APF has become an important meeting point for professionals working across forestry, arboriculture, woodland management and related industries.

The 2026 event brought together manufacturers, equipment suppliers, forestry professionals, contractors and customers at Ragley Hall.

For those working in the sector, APF provides an excellent opportunity to see machinery working in real-world conditions, compare equipment and keep up with the latest developments.

Incredible Talent at the Chainsaw Sculpting Competition

Another highlight of APF 2026 was the chainsaw sculpting competition.

The level of talent on display was incredible, with competitors demonstrating impressive speed, precision and creativity.

The speed round was particularly impressive as competitors worked against the clock to transform timber into detailed sculptures. The main competition also produced some fantastic work, showcasing what can be achieved with skill, creativity and a chainsaw.

Watching raw timber being transformed into intricate sculptures was a real highlight of the show.

Seeing the Latest Forestry Machinery

APF is an important event for keeping up with the latest developments in forestry machinery and specialist equipment.

As the forestry and land management industries continue to evolve, machinery is increasingly designed to improve productivity, reduce operator demands and provide practical solutions for difficult terrain.

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

Remote-controlled machinery and remote mowers can provide practical solutions for difficult ground, steep slopes and challenging vegetation.

APF 2026 was a brilliant event for the Tuppco team, and the 50-year anniversary made it an especially memorable show.

It was great to see so many customers, meet industry professionals, discover new machinery and celebrate the skills on display throughout the event.
