This 2002 Fabtek FT153 is a processor harvester — sometimes referred to as a processing head harvester or simply a forestry processor — a machine designed to fell, delimb, and buck trees into cut-to-length logs directly in the forest. Fabtek is a Canadian manufacturer with a history of building purpose-built forestry equipment, including harvesting and processing machines for the commercial timber industry.
The unit runs on tracks, making it well suited to soft or uneven terrain typical of logging operations. At the center of its capability is a four-roller processing head, which grips and feeds stems through the delimbing knives and bucking saw to produce finished log sections efficiently in a single pass. Four-roller heads are valued in processing applications for their firm, consistent grip on a wide range of stem diameters.
The machine has accumulated 18,200 hours of service, reflecting a long working life in forestry production. The seller reports good undercarriage condition, which is a meaningful indicator on a track machine, as undercarriage wear is one of the primary cost factors in long-term ownership. The unit is also described as being in good running condition. It is offered for sale at $49,900 and is currently located in Michigan, USA.
