Equipment Financing for Forestry & Logging

Skidders, feller bunchers, harvesters, and processors financed by people who understand stumpage, mill quotas, and seasonal shutdowns.

Feller buncher harvesting timber in active logging operation — forestry equipment financing

How Elevex works

Forty seconds, start to funded.

The Reality

Mill quotas, stumpage prices, and mud seasons dictate production — not your loan schedule. Equipment is extreme-duty, high-ticket, and works in places lenders never visit. Most credit committees see nothing but risk.

Production-Season Structures

Payments matched to hauling seasons and quota cycles, with shutdown-month flexibility.

Extreme-Duty Asset Expertise

We know what a 6,000-hour feller buncher is worth and how it holds value — and we price structures accordingly.

New, Used & Rebuilt

Auction buys, dealer rebuilds, and new iron are all financeable — the acquisition path that fits your operation.

Common Questions

Can I finance a used skidder or feller buncher with high hours?

Yes — hour meters don't scare us the way they scare banks. A 6,000-hour feller buncher with solid undercarriage and maintenance records is a financeable production asset, and we set terms to its remaining working life.

What happens to payments during spring breakup or mud season?

Schedules build in shutdown months from day one — reduced or skipped payments during breakup, full payments during hauling season. The structure matches how logging revenue actually arrives. See seasonal structures.

Do mill quotas affect what I can finance?

They shape the structure, not the answer. Quota cycles and stumpage commitments inform payment sizing so a quota cut doesn't become a default — that's cycle-aware underwriting, not a reason to pass.

Does logging equipment qualify for Section 179?

Most harvesting, extraction, and hauling equipment placed in service this year qualifies, financed or not. Run it through the Section 179 calculator and confirm with your tax advisor.
