Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for managing and controlling the lifetime of a tree handling system of a forest machine.

Abstract: The invention concerns an arrangement for the guidance of flexible lines that run from a crane arm (3) through its end section (2) to a tool (4), that is suspended at the crane arm through a link arrangement (5) and a frame that is a component of a rotator (6) for rotation around a vertical first axis (A) and in a cardan manner around second (B) and third (C) horizontal axes, For the discrete and protected passage of hoses, it comprises a first holder (35) in an opening (3A) of the end section (2), a second holder (38) in a central region of the rotator (6), a first hose package (1A-1D) that extends between the said first (35) and second holders (38), a penetration (26) in a central region of the rotator (6) and permitting hydraulic fluid to pass through the rotator (6) and onwards to a lower part (18) of the same at least one of the said second (B) and third (C) horizontal axes comprises an “open joint”.
