This Zetor LKT 80 VIN 498 is a used logging skidder — a machine purpose-built for extracting felled timber from forest terrain and hauling it to a landing or roadside collection point. Sometimes referred to as a skidder or forest skidder, this type of machine is a workhorse of the timber harvesting industry. Zetor is a well-established Central European manufacturer with a long history of producing robust agricultural and forestry tractors, and the LKT line was developed specifically for demanding woodland applications.
Dating from 1979, this machine is configured as a four-wheel-drive unit, giving it the traction needed to navigate soft, uneven, or heavily rutted forest ground. Transmission is manual, and the skidder is fitted with both front and rear differential locks, allowing the operator to maximise grip on difficult surfaces by locking out wheel slip on either axle independently.
The skidder is equipped with a winch, which is a core feature for logging use, enabling timber to be pulled or dragged towards the machine before skidding. Remote control of the winch is included, allowing the operator to manage the cable pull from a safer working distance. At the front, a blade is fitted — used for grading, levelling, or manoeuvring material and debris on site. At the rear, a tipping shield is installed, a protective and functional feature used to contain and control the movement of logs during transport. Braking is by air drum brakes throughout.
Tyre condition is stated at approximately 20%. The machine is sold without a technical certificate or road tax disc, meaning it is not currently road-registered. The price is €15,900, with no VAT deduction possible. Prospective buyers should note that the batteries may be worn and may need to be supplied or replaced before the machine is operational. The skidder is located in Slovakia.
