Abstract:
1. A method for stabilizing an articulated vehicle, which vehicle is forest working machine comprising at least: a front frame construction and a rear frame construction, and a frame joint construction, which is arranged to couple the frame structures with each other and to allow their rotation both in relation to each other, away from normal position, and at the same time around a horizontal axis, which is substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the articulated vehicle, wherein the method comprises the steps of: maintaining an increasing supporting force, which supporting force affects between the frame structures, stabilizes the rotating frame structure by resisting the rotation of the rotating frame structure away from said normal position around said horizontal axis, and controlling the maximum of said supporting force in such a manner that it depends on the difference of rotations of the frame structures, at least when said difference is increasing, and at least when said difference is static, wherein the supporting force is the greater the greater the difference is.
