This Valmet 840.3 is a used forestry forwarder — sometimes referred to as a timber forwarder — a purpose-built machine used to collect and haul cut logs from the felling site to a roadside landing. Valmet is a well-established name in the forestry equipment industry, known for producing heavy-duty harvesting and forwarding machines designed to perform in demanding terrain and harsh conditions.
Power comes from a six-cylinder SISU turbocharged diesel engine, a robust and widely respected powerplant in professional forestry applications. The machine is configured as a 6×6, meaning all six wheels are driven, and it is equipped with a differential lock, both of which contribute to reliable traction and stability on soft, uneven, or sloped forest ground.
The loading system centers on a Valmet CRF 8.1 crane fitted with an extendable boom, giving the operator extended reach when gathering timber. The crane is paired with a bypass grapple with rotator, allowing precise placement and handling of logs during loading. The bunk is equipped with an approximately 72-inch decking blade, providing a wide load area for carrying timber.
The cab is an EROPS unit — an enclosed rollover protection structure — and is fitted with heat and air conditioning along with a pre-heater for cold-weather starts. Operator controls are joystick-based, and the cab includes a radio and a Maxi monitor for machine management and diagnostics.
Running gear consists of 600/65-34 tires on the front axles and 600/55R26.5 tires on the rear. This machine is located in Michigan, USA, and is listed at $69,500. Trades, trucking assistance, and financing options are available through the seller.
