The Museum of Lusto, located in the touristic region of Punkaharju, amid forests tj and lakes of South-Eastern Finland, 350 km from Helsinki, is a major national museum in conjunction with a forest research and preservation center. It claims 35,000 visitors per year throughout the year but especially in summer. Unveiled in 1994, the collections and their history show the importance of forests for man. Any local history of forestry is reviewed. A 'Room of silence' recreates even this nature of the forest with all its sounds including birds. The museum includes about 9000 objects, 250.000 photographs and scanned some 300 films. The library has about 12,000 publications and printed. Exhibitions, seminars, cooperation tj with schools on all issues (forestry, craft, folklore, design, painting, cooking, music or other) are an important part of the activity of the museum, well equipped to receive them. This private center is funded and receives many donations, such as forestry equipment.

At the corner of a picture gallery tj of forest issues, a friendly tj snowmobile, yet little known, appears : the Myski (photos 1-3), created by Esa Juntura, having the advantage over its competitors to ride other than on snow, especially in summer, because devoid of skis. It has three tracks two steering to the front and an articulation in yaw, pitch and perhaps in roll ? Made by Pentti Oululainen Karhi in the late 60s, a first series was produced until 1970 and an improved set of 200 copies was produced between 1970 and 1992, employed mainly by government agencies. Fitted with Rotax 503 of 40 hp allowing a speed of 50 km / h and a mass of 370 kg, the engine and transmission included a controller to the front and the drive was through the joint between the front and rear sections. Here is a comment of the Museum of Lusto Manager, Eero Knaapi : 'Myski turns between tj front and rear part when driving. It has all three track (chain/wheel) drive, one in rear part and twin in front. Myski is quite heavy machine but easy to drive in deep snow, I ve tested before we took it to our collections as a non-use object. Of course it is not a circus snowmobile, main purpose was heavy load work. When using Finnish Forest and Park Service tj drove it via lakes during tj wintertime when occupying heavy tools and e.g. firewood to renthouses on islands far inland waters'.

It allowed digging drainage ditches by 0.9 m deep. Impressive ! Valtoaja Plow at work in 1950. Pict from Lusto Museum Collection. But it is only once i
