About Log Max
Log Max is Sweden's largest maker of harvester heads, with more than 45 years of experience, according to Log Max. The company started in 1980, according to its history, and its heads use a patented Active Friction Control system.
Log Max equipment
Log Max harvester heads fit harvesters and excavator-based carriers used in cut-to-length logging.
How lenders view this equipment
Heads are high-wear forestry attachments. Lenders review the head's model, hours, rollers, knives, measuring system and the carrier it will go on, along with logging contracts.
Financing Log Max equipment
Heads can be financed on their own or with the carrier. Seasonal payments may be available.
How Log Max equipment financing works
Most Log Max purchases are financed with an equipment loan or a lease. A loan gives you ownership from day one, with the lender registering a security interest (PPSA in Canada, UCC in the USA). A lease keeps title with the lessor and can lower the monthly payment, with a buyout, renewal or return option at the end.
Log Max equipment we help finance
Financing Log Max harvesters
Harvesters (forestry or crop) are specialized machines. Lenders look at hours, head condition and the cutting rights, contracts or acreage behind the purchase. Because fewer lenders specialize in these assets, comparing several lenders matters more than usual.
Log Max harvesters on our eligible equipment list include Log Max Harvester Head.
What lenders check on a Log Max harvester
Lenders look at hours, component condition and the contracts or cutting rights behind the work. Forestry equipment is specialized, so lender appetite and terms vary more than for general construction machines.
Expect to provide a credit application, recent business bank statements, the dealer quote or bill of sale with serial number and hours, and financial statements or tax returns for larger amounts.

Tax treatment of Log Max equipment
In Canada, the CCA class depends on the asset and how it is used. Your accountant can confirm the right class. With a loan, you generally claim capital cost allowance and deduct interest. With a true operating lease, lease payments are generally deductible instead. See the CRA classes of depreciable property. In the USA, Section 179 and bonus depreciation may apply; see IRS Publication 946. Always confirm with your accountant.
End-of-term options on a Log Max lease
A $1 buyout lease is built for ownership: you keep the machine for a nominal amount at the end. A fair market value lease usually has a lower payment, and at the end you can buy the equipment at its market value, return it or upgrade. Read the return conditions, such as hour limits and wear standards, before you sign.
Who finances Log Max equipment
Forestry: logging contractors, sawmills, land-clearing firms, road builders in resource areas and forestry service companies finance Log Max equipment to take on new work, replace aging units or add capacity.
The right structure depends on how the equipment earns money. A machine tied to a long contract can support a longer term, while seasonal work may call for skip or seasonal payments that some lenders offer.
Questions to ask the dealer or seller before you finance
- What is the exact model year, serial number and hours?
- Is there a service history or recent inspection report?
- Is any warranty or extended coverage included, and does it transfer?
- Are attachments, delivery, installation and taxes itemized on the quote?
- For a private sale, is the equipment free of liens, and who will provide the bill of sale?
Insurance on financed Log Max equipment
Lenders and lessors require the equipment to be insured for its replacement or financed value, with the lender named as loss payee, before funding. Some also ask for liability coverage. Getting an insurance quote early avoids last-minute delays.
