Frequently asked questions
Questions about forestry and logging equipment financing
Can used or high-hour forestry equipment be financed?
It may be considered. Lenders review age, hours, condition, maintenance, value, seller, intended use, and remaining useful life.
Can equipment purchased from a private seller be financed?
Some private-sale transactions may be considered, but ownership, liens, valuation, condition, documentation, taxes, and payment handling require additional review.
Can logging trucks and trailers be included?
Eligible commercial trucks and trailers may be financed, either with forestry equipment or through the dedicated truck and trailer financing process.
How quickly can a forestry operator receive a decision?
The target is a decision within 24 hours on a complete application. Appraisals, private sales, older assets, or complex transactions may require more time.
