This LKT LKT 82 is a used logging skidder — sometimes called a skidder or forwarder in the timber industry — a purpose-built forestry machine designed to drag or haul felled trees and logs from the cutting area to a landing or roadside collection point. LKT is a Slovak manufacturer with a long-standing focus on forestry and agricultural tractors, producing rugged machines built specifically for demanding woodland and timber-harvesting operations.
This 2001 machine is offered in fully operational condition and is equipped with a four-cylinder — correction, six-cylinder turbocharged Deutz engine producing 170 horsepower, providing the pulling power essential for heavy timber extraction work. The drivetrain features full four-wheel drive (4×4), giving the machine the traction needed to operate across uneven, soft, or steep forest terrain.
The transmission offers four forward and four reverse gears, allowing the operator to match ground speed precisely to the demands of the terrain and load. The axles are described as a new-type wet-bridge design, meaning the differentials and braking components are housed within an oil-bath system. This configuration places the brakes internally within the axle housings, protecting them from the mud, debris, and moisture typical of forestry environments and significantly extending service life compared to external dry brakes.
The machine is fitted with a new-type twin-drum winch rated at 2 × 8 tonnes, operated via remote control. This dual-drum, remote-operated winch arrangement substantially increases both the pulling capacity and the operator's flexibility when recovering and loading heavy timber. The skidder has also been adapted to accept a HDS (hydraulic loader crane) attachment, broadening its capability for timber-handling tasks beyond straight winching. The machine is located in Poland and is priced at $36,000.
