About · Komatsu 875Overview
The Komatsu 875 is a purpose-built forwarder designed for timber extraction operations. As a forwarder, it is engineered to collect cut timber at the felling site and transport it to a roadside landing or processing point. The machine represents a heavy-duty segment of forest machinery, combining load-carrying capacity with off-road mobility suited to demanding terrain.
Typical applicationsWhere this machine is used
Forwarders of this class are deployed in commercial timber harvesting operations, including clear-cutting and thinning work across a range of forest types. They are commonly used in conjunction with harvesters as part of a cut-to-length logging system. The Komatsu 875 is suited to operations requiring the movement of large timber volumes over varied ground conditions.
Used-market inspectionWhat to check before buying
When inspecting a used forwarder of this class, buyers should evaluate the condition of the crane and rotator, the integrity of the load bunk and bolsters, and the state of the bogie axles and drive chains. The hydraulic system, including hoses, cylinders, and pump performance, warrants close attention given the operational demands placed on forwarders. Frame articulation joints and any signs of structural cracking should be assessed by a qualified technician prior to purchase. Service history documentation provides valuable context for assessing overall machine condition.
Current marketPrice position
Available market data places the Komatsu 875 at a European market average of EUR 216,814, with the current documented price range also reflecting that same reference point. Prospective buyers should benchmark this figure against comparable heavy forwarders from competing manufacturers when evaluating total acquisition cost within their fleet planning.
