This Komatsu 855 is a used forestry forwarder — sometimes referred to as a timber forwarder — a purpose-built machine designed to collect cut timber from the felling site and transport it to a roadside landing for loading and onward haulage. Komatsu is a globally recognised manufacturer of heavy equipment, with a long-standing presence in construction, mining, and forest machine industries. This example is a 2018 model currently located in Michigan, USA, and is offered at $239,500.
The machine has been owner-operated and is described as very well maintained, with the previous owner available to answer questions about its history and operation. Overall condition is reported as good across metalwork, glass, steps, and guards, giving buyers confidence in the general state of the structure and cab surrounds.
Powering the unit is an AGCO engine. The transmission is a two-speed unit operating in both forward and reverse, providing the flexibility needed to manoeuvre through varied forest terrain. A blade is fitted, which aids with levelling ground and clearing debris during operation. The forwarder is equipped with a loader featuring a 2022 Hultdins grapple bucket — a relatively recent addition that brings a well-regarded, purpose-designed timber-handling attachment to the machine. Running gear consists of Forest King tyres sized 710x45-26.5, which remain at approximately 75% tread depth, representing meaningful service life remaining.
