This 2017 Western Star 4900FA is a used timber truck — sometimes referred to as a log truck — built for heavy-duty forestry hauling operations. Western Star is a North American manufacturer with a long-standing reputation for producing purpose-built vocational and heavy highway trucks, serving demanding industries such as logging, construction, and oilfield work. This example is located in Pennsylvania and has been readied for immediate work, coming with a fresh Pennsylvania DOT inspection.
Power comes from a Detroit DD16 diesel engine rated at 560 horsepower and 1,850 lb-ft of torque, paired with an Eaton Fuller RTLO-20918B 18-speed manual transmission. The drivetrain runs a 4.30 axle ratio, with a 22,000-lb front axle, a 46,000-lb rear axle riding on a Chalmers 854 52,000-lb high-stability rear suspension, and a 20,000-lb steerable lift axle. The rear axles are full-locking, and the Meritor RT-46-164P rear ends are fitted with lube pumps. The truck rides on a 340-inch wheelbase with a double-rail frame configuration and a heavy-duty driveline with 4S/4M specification.
Cooling and fuel systems are configured for sustained vocational duty. The truck features a 1,570-square-inch vocational radiator, a 100-gallon fuel tank, a Davco 482 fuel and water separator with a 12-volt preheater, a 23-gallon DEF tank, and a block heater for cold-weather starting. Dual stainless steel air cleaners and dual exhaust are also fitted, along with a battery disconnect switch.
The tire and wheel package consists of 425/65R22.5 tires on the front axle and lift axle, and 11R24.5 tires on the drive axles, all mounted on an all-aluminum wheel package. The cab rides on air suspension and is trimmed in a Prairie Buckskin vinyl premium interior with ultra-leather seat covering on a premium high-back air-suspended driver's seat. Four Hadley air horns, fender extensions, and Flame Red paintwork complete the exterior specification.
The truck is equipped with a 2017 Rotobec Elite 910 loader featuring an extendaboom arm with a 26-foot boom reach, a Rotobec grapple, and a double bunk arrangement, making this a complete, ready-to-work timber truck configuration as it stands.
