Why Logging Finance
A skidder deal is more than a model year.
Skidders live hard working lives. A useful structure should consider the complete transaction—the machine, purchase source, business profile and how the unit will earn for the operation—not simply whether it fits a conventional bank box.

Buy from a dealer, auction or private seller, subject to program requirements.
Terms built around the transaction
Available term options can range from 12 to 72 months depending on the equipment, transaction and credit profile.
Room to find the right unit
Qualified approvals may remain open for up to 90 days while you shop.
Simple by design
From machine to monthly path in three steps.
