Overview

The Weiler F848 Forwarder delivers high-performance forestry functionality with rugged durability, operator-focused design, and best-in-class serviceability. Powered by a Caterpillar Stage 5 C7.1 engine running at 1980 RPM, it ensures smooth, fast operation complemented by a hydraulically driven variable-speed cooling fan for efficient fuel use and precise temperature control. Its two-speed hydrostatic drive provides excellent traction and power on steep slopes, while the dynamic braking system enhances downhill control, reduces drivetrain wear, and improves tire life. Built for North America's toughest conditions, the F848 features a heavy-duty cast articulation knuckle, dual tapered roller bearings, and reinforced skid plates for superior structural protection. The boom and grapple system are engineered for fast, smooth, and powerful operation, with protected plumbing and easily serviceable hoses that minimize downtime. The spacious cab enhances operator comfort with outstanding visibility, a user-friendly touchscreen control mounted on the armrest, and a lockable rotating seat for maximum ergonomics. Maintenance is simple with a forward tilting hood, side tilting cab, grouped lube points, and easy access to hydraulic and engine components—making the F848 as serviceable as it is powerful.
