Machinery considered individually

Assess a forestry-machine investment as part of the full harvesting chain.

Apply to Release.fi for long-term leasing of new or used forestry machinery for your business. Each request is assessed individually. Start with make and model; the harvesting task, hours, condition and balance between machines help explain the investment.

Useful information

Read operating history system by system

  • Hours and shifts

    Separate engine and operating hours where available and note single- or multi-shift use.

  • Crane

    Review play, structures, hoses, cylinders and documented repairs.

  • Working equipment

    For a harvester, identify head and measuring system; for a forwarder, record bunk and load-space configuration.

  • Driveline and bogies

    Note tyre or track setup, axle work and the terrain represented by earlier use.

  • Support arrangements

    Describe maintenance access, transport and replacement capacity relevant to continuity.

Key considerations

Harvester and forwarder address different bottlenecks

01

Felling capacity

Relate crane, head, measurement system and mobility to typical stands and shift patterns.

02

Extraction capacity

Match payload, bunk, crane and travel distance to the harvester's expected output.

Asset context

Downtime affects the full harvesting chain

Two forwarders in a forest machinery yard.
  • Assess the proposed machine against the paired machine and expected roadside production.
  • Record contracts, stand types, transport distance and seasonal ground conditions concisely.
  • Connect price and remaining service life with known component work and planned annual hours.

Practical questions

Useful forestry-machinery information

Can older forestry machinery be considered?

Age is reviewed with hours, condition, service history, price and expected productive life.

Should the paired machine be described?

Yes. Its capacity helps explain how the proposed asset fits the harvesting chain.

Are detailed documents required initially?

No. Start with concise machine and transaction information; further evidence can be discussed later.

Is your machine not listed?

The directory is not exhaustive. Briefly describe the machine and proposed purchase in the request.
