This 2011 Rottne F15D is a forestry forwarder — a purpose-built timber harvesting machine, sometimes called a log forwarder, designed to collect and transport cut timber from the felling site to a roadside landing. Rottne is a Swedish manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in the professional forestry equipment sector, producing forwarders and harvesters for logging operations around the world.
This example presents as a clean machine both inside and out, and has benefited from approximately $60,000 in recent repairs and component renewals, making it a well-refreshed unit for a buyer entering the used market. The front and rear differentials have been replaced, and new gears have been fitted in the bogies — the articulated rear axle assemblies that give forestry forwarders their characteristic ground-following ability and load-carrying capacity in rough terrain. A new lift cylinder has been installed on the loader crane, restoring full hydraulic lifting performance, and a new drive shaft has been fitted alongside at least one new tyre.
The machine is an 8WD configuration, meaning drive is delivered to all eight wheels, which is a key advantage when operating on soft, wet, or uneven forest ground under heavy load. The sale also includes a full set of tracks, which can be fitted over the tyres to further improve floatation and traction in demanding ground conditions — a valuable addition that extends the machine's seasonal and site versatility.
This used Rottne F15D forwarder is located in New York, USA, and is offered at $125,000.
