Machinery considered individually

A forest harvester begins the production chain one stem at a time.

Release.fi can consider new and used forest harvesters. Age, hours, condition and price help assessment when available, but are not required for the first conversation.

Commercial context

Capacity belongs with stand profile and the paired forwarder

Relate production expectations to tree species, stem size, terrain, shift pattern, contracts and the capacity available for extraction.

Meter hours should be read with crane, head, driveline, bogie, hydraulic and maintenance history.

Key considerations

The harvester as a productive system

Crane, head, measurement, mobility and information systems should match the expected stand profile.

01

Base machine

Review size, tyres or tracks, bogies, stability and movement in the planned terrain.

02

Crane and head

Record reach, head model, feed system, knives, saw unit and documented rebuilds.

03

Measurement and control

Identify calibration, software, data transfer and operator-control equipment included.

Useful information

Describe the harvesting profile as well as the machine

Use the actual contract mix to explain configuration and expected annual hours.

  • Stands

    Species, typical stem size, thinning or final felling and terrain.

  • Work rhythm

    Shifts, annual hours, relocation pattern and expected seasonal conditions.

  • Configuration

    Crane, head, measurement, tyres or tracks and included accessories.

  • Asset history

    Hours, servicing, component repairs, seller and VAT-exclusive price.

Practical questions

Harvester investment details

Should the forwarder be mentioned?

Yes. Its capacity and travel conditions help explain the balance of the planned chain.

Which component histories matter most?

Crane, harvesting head, hydraulics, driveline, bogies and measurement-system work are useful when documented.
