Forest tracks, landings and log yards: 4WD, ground clearance and oscillation are the entry ticket — the RT40’s territory, with capacity read honestly from the chart.
Scenario challenges
Forest tracks and landings have no floor specification; clearance, tires and drive decide access.
Log lengths and moisture swing load centers; the chart governs.
Harvest windows concentrate the year’s work; availability during the season is everything.
Selection logic
| Decision factor | What to check on site | How this solution is specified |
|---|---|---|
| Access geometry | Tracks, ruts and slopes gate the site. | RT40 — switchable 4WD, oscillating castor axle, aggressive-lug tires, 30% gradeability. |
| Load honesty | Log bundles swing load centers widely. | Derated capacity per the load chart at the true center; operator speed discipline on broken ground. |
| Season peaks | Harvest windows concentrate duty. | Pre-season service per the maintenance schedule; spares per the farm and ranch kit pattern. |
| Mixed roles | Landings have yard work too. | DF30 on prepared landing pads; RT40 beyond them — the split the farms solution illustrates. |
Recommended models
The forestry ticket — 4.0 t 4WD rough-terrain, oscillating axle, canopy option.
\nLanding-pad yard work at 3.0 t diesel with dry-type filtration.
\nSend your track profiles, bundle sizes and season pattern — engineering responds within 12 hours on average.
Farms & ranches, sawmills, construction sites and ports — the off-pad environments.
