Estimate Logging Cost per Ton
Use your own costs and production figures to estimate what a machine costs per ton of wood moved. Match the ton unit you use across jobs and compare figures from similar terrain and haul distances.
Productive time is the share of scheduled machine hours spent doing the work you are costing. Include the same cost items when comparing machines.
Log Pile Volume Calculator
Measure the pile from end to end along its face, its average height, and its depth. For a single row of logs, the depth is the average log length.
For planning, measure uneven piles in separate sections and add the results. Confirm the scale with your buyer for a timber sale. Stacked-pile measurement method
What to Check Before Buying Used Forestry Equipment
Match the machine to your woods and haul distance
Ask how the machine was used and what it handled. For a skidder, check grapple opening and the condition of the center articulation joint. For a forwarder, check the bunk dimensions, loader reach, and whether the seller can document rated payload.
Check the working head and hydraulic system
For a feller buncher, delimber, or processor, confirm the head make and model, which controls are included, and whether the seller has service records for the head and carrier. Ask for a video of a complete work cycle, including feed and rotation where applicable.
Ask for close-up photos and service history
Request photos of pin and bushing areas, boom mounts, tires or tracks, guarding, and any weld repairs. Ask which wear parts have been replaced and whether the quoted hours are for the carrier, head, or a replacement meter.
