Forwarder – LOGSET 12F GT

Massive Capacity and Structure: Everything about the 12F GT is big. Its 24-ton operating weight provides the necessary foundation to transport up to 30 m³ of solid wood in a single load. The load bay is immense, with a cross-sectional area of up to 6.6 m² and a length expandable to 6.2 meters, allowing for maximizing transport volume unlike any other machine in its class.

Unsurpassed Power and Traction: To move this weight, it relies on the AGCO Power 74 LFTN engine delivering 291 hp (214 kW) and 1280 Nm of torque. But the real magic lies in its transmission: it generates a beastly tractive force of 262 kN, the highest in the Logset range. This guarantees the machine doesn’t just load 20 tons, but moves them uphill and over soft ground where other giants would get stuck.

DeX System and Extreme Crane Safety and durability are ensured by the patented DeX (Deceleration Assistant and Protection System), which manages engine braking on steep descents to protect the transmission. For loading, it equips the most powerful crane available, the Mesera 142 F, with a lifting torque of 178 kNm, designed to manipulate giant stems with speed and precision.

Fleet Compatibility

The only partner capable of keeping pace with the largest hybrid harvesters.

• Recommended Base Machine: Designed specifically to work in a team with the Logset 12H GTE Hybrid harvester. Together, they form the most productive felling and extraction system on the market for large-diameter timber.  
• Special Tires: Mounts giant 28.5-inch tires (780/50-28.5) to support the massive load and offer superior flotation, reducing ground pressure despite its size.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)   
 
1. Is the 12F GT the largest forwarder on the market? With a 20-ton capacity and 262 kN of traction, it is one of the largest and most powerful commercial forwarders available globally, designed for extreme volumes.

2. What is the purpose of the DeX system? The DeX system helps control the machine on steep slopes by intelligently using engine braking. This not only improves operator safety but also protects the engine from over-revving and extends the life of the hydrostatic transmission.

3. What is the difference in wheels compared to the 10F GT? While the 10F GT uses 26.5″ rims, the 12F GT mounts 28.5-inch rims. This extra diameter is crucial for supporting the 20-ton load and improving rolling capability over large obstacles.

4. Is it difficult to maneuver such a large machine? Despite its dimensions, the TOC 2 control system allows for smooth steering and transmission adjustments. However, due to its size, it is primarily intended for final felling and main forest roads, not tight thinning.

5. How much wood can it actually carry? Thanks to its load area expandable up to 6.6 m², it can transport volumes of up to 30 m³ of solid wood in ideal conditions, drastically reducing the number of trips needed to clear a site.
