In Farming Simulator 25, forestry reaches a new level with a variety of powerful and specialized equipment. If your goal is to create an efficient forestry business and turn logging into a profitable venture, you'll need the right tools and machinery.

In this overview, we'll look at the key new additions that will help you manage tree felling, log transportation, and forest restoration.

IMPEX Hannibal T50 — Logging Harvester

The Hannibal T50 from IMPEX is one of the most powerful logging harvesters available in the game. With an engine output of 320 hp and a working speed of 8 km/h, the IMPEX Hannibal T50 is designed for large-scale logging operations where large-scale felling and log handling is required.

 
It is capable of delivering excellent performance with relatively low fuel consumption.

You should look for this forestry tool at an agricultural equipment store in the “Harvesters” section.

Komatsu 951 — Speed and Performance

If you need speed alongside power, check out the Komatsu 951. This harvester features a 291 hp engine and can reach speeds up to 20 km/h, significantly speeding up the logging process.

 

It also belongs to the Harvesters category and is an excellent choice for those who value a balance between speed and power.

The Komatsu 951 can handle large trees quickly, and its high mobility makes it suitable for both extensive forest areas and more challenging terrains.

Riedler Fahrzeugbau FH16 Rul-HKR — Heavy-duty Timber Truck

After the trees have been cut down, they need to be transported to processing plants or points of sale. The Riedler Fahrzeugbau FH16 Rul-HKR forestry truck can be a great help in this situation.

This powerful truck, equipped with a 780-horsepower engine, can handle all types of roads and off-road terrain. It has excellent off-road capabilities, and its speed hasn’t been sacrificed for power — under good conditions, this truck can reach up to 90 kilometers per hour on a smooth road. These are the speed limits, the working speed will of course be lower.

If the logs to be sawn are heavy and long, the FH Rul-HKR truck is the perfect choice for transporting them.

With a weight of 15 tons and a 700-liter fuel tank, it allows you to work for long periods of time without frequent stops. It works well in combination with the Riedler Fahrzeugbau RUH327 trailer, which also holds large volumes of wood, making your work more efficient.

Anderson Group BioBaler WB-55 — Bale Creation from Wood Residues

If forestry for you is not only about felling trees but also processing them, the BioBaler WB-55 from Anderson Group will be a great solution.

After work at the sawmill, a lot of waste remains in the form of wood chips and sawdust. But why leave it behind when you can turn it into profit, right? The BioBaler WB-55 is designed for baling wood waste into compact bales.

These bales of fine wood can later be sold or used for further production purposes.

Since this is highly specialized equipment, it has relatively high power requirements—a tractor with at least 200 horsepower is needed to comfortably operate this wood baler.

Damcon PL-75 — Forest Restoration

After logging, forests need to be restored, and the Damcon PL-75 comes to the rescue. This tree planter can plant new saplings with a working width of 1 meter. It requires a tractor with 120 hp, making it accessible for most farms.

The machine is listed under Tree Planters and allows for efficient reforestation, helping you maintain a balance between logging and replenishing forest resources.

Kesla 144ND — Wood Transport

Transporting felled trees is equally important, and the Kesla 144ND forestry trailer can help. It falls under the Wood Transport category and is designed for the convenient and fast transportation of large volumes of logs.

 

This machine will significantly reduce the number of trips from the logging site to the processing point.

Koller Forsttechnik K 307C-H + Ecko Flex — Winch for Tough Conditions

When facing hard-to-reach forest areas, the Koller Forsttechnik K 307C-H winch will be your indispensable assistant.

 

This powerful winch, requiring only 225 hp, will help you pull heavy tree trunks from steep slopes and swampy areas. It is listed in the Winches category and allows for efficient work in difficult terrains where traditional transport vehicles are powerless.

Chainsaws Husqvarna, McCulloch, and Stihl — Fast Logging Operations

In FS25, there's a wide range of specialized equipment and tools for logging and tree felling.

Using these machines speeds up the process, allowing you to focus your efforts on more valuable tasks.Often this equipment is extremely efficient and reduces the amount of time it takes to cut.

 

But there are always exceptions and there are situations where it will be useless due to its size. In such cases, it will be more appropriate to resort to using a regular chainsaw.

In Farming Simulator 25 you can choose from several models of hand chainsaws for cutting down trees.

Here are a few options:

• Husqvarna 550 XP
• Stihl MS 261
• McCulloch CS 410

All of these chainsaws handle their tasks well, and the best part is they come at a very affordable price—just a few thousand dollars. Using them can help increase your net profit from your forestry operations. True, you'll have to put in some physical work... but it can be well worth the effort!
