Whether you are a seasoned logger or a new entrant in the industry, understanding the various financing options available is essential for growth and success. First Capital Business Finance recognizes the unique challenges faced by forestry professionals and offers tailored solutions to meet their financial needs.
Equipment Financing: One of the primary needs in forestry logging is specialized equipment such as harvesters, loaders, and skidders. First Capital Business Finance provides equipment financing options, allowing businesses to acquire the necessary machinery without putting a strain on their working capital.

Working capital loans from First Capital Business Finance provide the flexibility needed to cover operational expenses, including payroll, fuel, and maintenance costs. This type of financing ensures that businesses can run smoothly even during seasonal fluctuations.

Now that we’ve covered the types of tree trimming, let’s look at the essential equipment needed for each:
Harvesters are specialized machines designed for felling, delimbing, and bucking trees during logging operations. They streamline the harvesting process, increasing efficiency and reducing manual labor.
Skidders are heavy-duty vehicles used to extract felled trees from the forest to a central location for processing. Equipped with winches or grapples, skidders play a crucial role in transporting timber across challenging terrain.
Mulchers are specialized equipment designed to clear vegetation and underbrush in forestry areas. They are particularly useful for land preparation, maintaining firebreaks, and creating access trails in dense wooded environments.
Cable logging systems use cables and winches for skidding and transporting logs. This traditional method is employed in areas with challenging terrain where wheeled vehicles may be impractical.
Advanced GPS and mapping technologies are essential for modern forestry operations. They assist in planning, mapping, and optimizing logging routes, ensuring efficient resource utilization and minimizing environmental impact.
Forwarders are forestry vehicles designed to carry and transport logs from the cutting site to a landing or roadside area. They are equipped with load-carrying bunks and often have articulated steering for maneuverability in wooded areas.
Log loaders are versatile machines used to load logs onto trucks for transportation. They can handle various log sizes and are equipped with hydraulically operated grapples for efficient loading and unloading.
Chippers are used to process logging debris, such as branches and small-diameter trees, into wood chips. These chips can be used for various purposes, including paper production, biomass energy, or landscaping.
Portable sawmills allow forestry companies to process logs into lumber on-site. These compact and mobile units provide flexibility in timber processing, reducing the need to transport logs to off-site sawmills.
Feller bunchers are mechanized vehicles equipped with cutting heads that can fell and gather several trees at once. These machines are efficient in clear-cutting operations, improving productivity and reducing labor requirements.
Specialized trailers and trucks are crucial for transporting logs from the logging site to processing facilities or mills. These vehicles are designed to handle heavy loads and navigate through rugged forestry terrain.
Step 1: Pick out your equipment: even if you have to shop for a few online, we’ll need to know approximately what your budget is. If you already have a quote or invoice from the dealer, that’ll work just as well. (Keep in mind, if you haven’t picked one out or if you don’t have the time to find one, get an idea on the price and we can work with that)
Step 2: Know your numbers, whether you’re looking for a used $2,000 utility trailer to carry your equipment or a $50,000 brand new Vermeer wood chipper, you’ll want to be sure to have a budget set for this added investment. Depending on the finance amount, typically you will not need to have a business plan, nor would you need financials or tax returns. But before making a purchase, it’s wise to run some numbers and projections on the benefits of adding this asset to your books.
Step 3: Get pre-approved for financing prior to signing any agreement or paying any deposit. The last thing you want to do is back yourself in the corner by paying a deposit for this equipment and not being able to find the financing. Of course, we’re able to secure financing for the majority of our clients, but there are still some instances where a client might not be able to proceed with the financing terms that are presented to them. If you have a few minutes, you should call us at 888-565-6692 and speak to one of our advisors. They can walk you through the simple process and address any questions you might have. Our chat help desk is typically open from 6 am PST to 11 pm PST 7 days a week. Once you’ve found out what you are eligible for, now comes the fun part… Start shopping!
