This Valmet 840.3 is a used forestry forwarder — sometimes referred to as a timber forwarder — a purpose-built machine designed to collect and transport cut logs from the felling site to a roadside landing within forest terrain. Valmet is a well-established name in the forestry equipment industry, known for producing heavy-duty harvesting and forwarding machines built to operate reliably in demanding woodland conditions.
This 2007 example is located in Suchá Hora, Slovakia, and is offered at $45,100. The seller describes the machine as fully functional and in good overall condition, specifically noting the absence of cracks and welds, which speaks to the structural integrity of the frame and bodywork. The recorded machine hours stand at 21,000 MTH, providing a clear indication of the level of use the forwarder has accumulated.
The machine is equipped with air conditioning for operator comfort. It comes with one pair of rubber tracks fitted over the wheels — a configuration commonly used to improve traction and reduce ground pressure on soft or sensitive forest floors. Also included are two pairs of traction chains, which provide additional grip in particularly difficult or slippery terrain conditions.
Regarding the tyres, the machine runs on eight wheels in total. Four of the tyres are in very good condition at approximately 90% remaining tread life, while the remaining four show significantly more wear, estimated at around 20%. Transportation of the machine can be arranged by agreement with the seller.
