Komatsu Introduces XF895-3 Forwarder

Feb 19, 2026 - 3 months ago

Komatsu introduces its XF895-3 forwarder to the North American market, a purpose-built machine with smarter designs and stronger elements for performance and productivity in the most demanding forestry operations.

It is an ideal match to the 8-wheeled XH951XC-1 harvester introduced in September.

Engineered for final felling and large-scale forwarding, the improved Komatsu XF895-3 forwarder includes an upgraded crane, reinforced frame and redesigned load space to make moving larger loads more efficiently.

Key updates include:

New optional 205F crane with enhanced lift geometry and optional reach up to 32.8 feet (10 meters)
Optional G85H grapple with 4.3 ft2 (0.40 m²) tip-to-tip area for greater material control
Upgraded telescopic gate, rugged bunks with widening function and optional height-adjustable stakes
Reinforced frame and articulating joints designed to accommodate increased load capacity
New, electronically controlled hydraulic pump improves responsiveness and fuel efficiency
Simplified service with a single-filter hydraulic tank design

“The XF895-3’s enhancements make it even more well-suited for big log-hauling, final felling and ground preparation,” said Rob Warden, Senior Product Manager, Forestry. “It features a more robust frame for toughness, plus a new more powerful crane as an option. The load space offers a lot of adjustability for your tasks, such as telescoping width and height adjustments and fully adaptable gate.”

The XF895-3 forwarder is an excellent match for the newly introduced XH951XC-1, one of the largest harvesters on the market. Its eight driven wheels deliver incredible traction, maneuverability and stability, especially in steep, soft or rugged conditions. Inside the cab, operators experience automotive-level quality with refined controls and features built for all-day comfort and precision.

Together, the XH951XC-1 and XF895-3 reflect Komatsu’s ongoing innovation in forestry machinery — empowering operators to do more with greater comfort, control and confidence.
