This MB Trac 900 Turbo is a logging skidder — a machine purpose-built for extracting felled timber from the forest to a landing or roadside collection point, commonly referred to as a forwarder or skidder in the forestry trade. MB, the manufacturer behind this machine, is a well-established name in agricultural and forestry equipment, known for producing robust, versatile tractors and utility machines suited to demanding working environments.
This 1984 example is powered by a Mercedes-Benz four-cylinder turbocharged engine producing 90 horsepower, providing the torque and reliability expected from a Mercedes powertrain in a machine of this type. Drive is delivered through a 4x4 configuration, giving the operator the traction needed across uneven, soft, or slippery forest terrain. The machine has a recorded operating weight of 4,160 kg, reflecting its substantial, work-ready build.
A suspended front axle is fitted, which improves operator comfort and machine stability when travelling over rough ground. Braking is handled by an air brake system, and the machine is capable of road speeds up to 40 km/h, making it practical for movement between sites or along forestry tracks. Tyres are sized , appropriate for the soft and variable ground conditions typical of logging operations.
Hydraulic valves are present at both the front and rear of the machine, extending its versatility for attaching and operating a range of implements. Power take-off is available at both front and rear, running at both 540 and 1,000 rpm, broadening the range of driven equipment that can be used. An engine heating system is also fitted, which is a practical feature for reliable cold-weather starting in northern European conditions.
The machine carries valid registration and is located in the Netherlands, presented in used condition at a price of $36,500.
