This 2016 Barko 260B is a processor harvester — sometimes called a harvesting processor — a purpose-built forestry machine designed to fell, delimb, and buck trees to length in a single continuous operation. Barko is a well-established American manufacturer with decades of experience producing heavy forestry equipment, including loaders, harvesters, and processors, serving the logging and timber harvesting industries across North America.
This example is a one-owner machine that has been in active daily use and is offered with a complete new undercarriage installed at 7,900 hours, representing a significant recent investment in the machine's long-term serviceability. It is equipped with a Log Max 7000XT processing head fitted with a 0.404 top saw and a 3/4-inch main saw, providing the cutting capacity appropriate for commercial timber harvesting. The control system has been updated to a Log Mate 510, a modern interface that gives operators precise command over processing functions.
Power comes from a 6.7-litre Cummins engine rated at 225 horsepower, a reliable and widely supported diesel platform. Fuel consumption is stated at under 5 gallons per hour, which is a useful efficiency figure for operators estimating operating costs. The machine features dual swing drive motors and weighs approximately 60,000 pounds, reflecting its heavy-duty construction.
Operator and service access is facilitated by hydraulic gull-wing and forward-sliding cab access panels, making daily maintenance more straightforward in field conditions. Additional features include a fire suppression system and central greasing, both standard expectations on a professional forestry machine operating in combustible environments. The machine is located in Vermont, USA, and is priced at $250,000.
