The legendary king of steep slopes.
300hp Tier3 engine
A Cummins Tier3 300hp engine is the heart of the 450FXL. Smooth and powerful – it runs cleaner and delivers better overall performance. The Tier3 cooling package has wide fins to improve cooling, especially for the hydraulics
450 FXL
Valmet’s new 450FXL adds to the legend of the world’s most popular and productive steep slope track feller-buncher and harvester brand. The new machine machine is sized for big jobs with excellent mobility, stability, and increased service life! Here are some of the main features:
Komatsu engineering
The 450FXL features a specially designed forestry track system by Komatsu with largest-in-class 9” pitch (228mm) track. Sturdier frames and thicker shoes dramatically improve stability and increases shoe life. Massive forestry final drives by Komatsu increase reliability
For demanding jobs
The upper base plate reinforcements enhance structural integrity, supporting the cab, engine and heavy-duty boom. The new boom is stronger to take on the most demanding jobs
Komatsu designed carbody
The 450FXL’s Komatsu-designed carbody features ‘next-size-up’ leveling components and added structure to withstand the stress of heavy forestry work. The larger leveler has 3.5” pins and tapered heavier swing bearing
