This Ardco AMT600 is a used forestry forwarder — sometimes referred to as a log forwarder — a purpose-built machine used in timber harvesting operations to collect cut logs from the felling area and transport them to a roadside landing or processing point. Ardco is a manufacturer with a background in heavy-duty off-road equipment, building machines designed to operate in demanding terrain and industrial working environments.
This 2018 machine has accumulated just 475 hours of use, making it a low-hour example for its type. Power comes from a Cummins QSB6.7 Tier IV engine producing 250 horsepower, a well-regarded diesel unit widely used in heavy equipment applications for its reliability and emissions compliance. The machine is driven through a six-wheel-drive configuration, providing the traction and stability required to navigate soft ground, slopes, and the uneven terrain typical of active logging sites.
The forwarder is rated to carry a load of 45,000 pounds, placing it firmly in the heavy-duty segment of its category. It is equipped with a specially reinforced trailer designed for heavy loads, and logging stakes are included with the sale. The 43-inch tires are reported to be at 90% tread depth, indicating good remaining service life. The machine has been recently inspected by the factory, adding confidence to its documented condition.
The unit is located in Mississippi, USA, and is offered FOB Mississippi at $299,000.
