What the specifications mean
Length less boom and steps is not overall transport length. Include the mounted loader, boom stow, grapple and trailer in the actual transport plan.
The quoted bare-pin lift is measured at a stated radius and excludes attachment deductions. Obtain the actual load chart and grapple details before interpreting useful log-handling capacity.

A brochure configuration is not an individual marketplace machine. Serial/PIN and build information are required for exact verification.
Used 234C inspection priorities
- Inspect boom structure, pins, cylinders and through-tip grapple hose routing; review documented repairs and service records.
- Inspect subframe, stabilizers, mounting interface and swing components. Demonstrate hydraulic functions under the manufacturer inspection procedure.
Configuration-aware inspection: these checks are triggered by machine category, installed configuration and technology package. Brochure-listed technology must be physically present, active, licensed and calibrated on the used machine.
Hours, condition and ownership cost
Hours are context, not a condition grade. Duty cycle, idle time, maintenance evidence, wear-system measurements, structural repairs and installed technology should be evaluated together.
Cost drivers to model
- Match the loader to landing layout, log sorting and outbound trucks. Include trailer or fixed mounting work and support equipment in the purchase scenario.
- Budget grapple and hydraulic service against actual cycle count and material handling, not carrier hours alone.
Configuration
Equipment and configuration
Match the installed equipment to the serial-specific build record and the measurement basis shown above.
Configuration details to confirm
- Wheeled or tracked
- Head or grapple
- Levelling
- Timber application
A model specification does not establish compatibility with a particular attachment or option.
