Forestry crews need equipment that can deliver exceptional performance in difficult environments. Komatsu’s robust, dependable and fuel-efficient PC230F-11 processor can help control downtime and drive productivity and was featured in the company’s booth at this year’s CONEXPO-CON/AGG.

Purpose-built for processing applications, the 197-HP PC230F-11 has a rugged design, high and wide undercarriage, a powerful swing motor and is designed to withstand high-debris conditions. The robust wide-fin radiator is covered by heavy-duty forestry screens, and a variable pitch reversing fan helps improve airflow.

With a powerful swing system and a large swing circle, large trees can be moved easily with the PC230F-11. Its reach of up to 29.3 feet (8,951 mm), and excellent maneuverability help drive productivity.

The Komatsu SAA6D107E-3 Tier 4 Final engine is more fuel efficient than the prior engine. Thanks to proprietary Komatsu engine technology, the larger size-class (PC290LL-11) factory-installed engine also powers performance.
Operators can adjust quickly to a sudden change in load weight without compromising productivity with the Auto Power Max feature. It automatically senses the difference and reacts with an 8.5-second burst of additional horsepower to help pull the trees through during the delimbing process. The PC230F-11 is backed by excellent service, easy access to parts and a robust warranty.

With the right products, latest technologies, actionable data and dealer support, Komatsu and its customers can create value together.
