Link-Belt 40B Forestry Series
The Link-Belt 3440B Processor, 4040B Timber Loader, and 4640B Timber Loader are now available in the U.S. and Canada. The new 40B Series of forestry equipment features design improvements to increase cooling performance, debris management, and serviceability. The new line made its debut at Triad Machinery’s booth during the 85th annual Oregon Logging Conference in February.
The 4040B TL is gaining a substantial increase in engine HP, by 21%. Coupled with increased cooling and airflow management, the 4040B TL is sure to put in the work for the long haul. With serviceability and debris management, removal of the dust screen from the ground or catwalk is quick and effortless.
An All-new 3440B PH machine dedicated to forestry timber processing features a 177 HP Isuzu tier 4 final-compliant engine. Boasting an upsized cooling package compared to the previous generation l, the 3440B PH offers superior performance and productivity compared to its predecessor model.
“LBX is excited to introduce the all-new 40B Series forestry product line,” says Adam Woods, General Manager of Innovation and Product Portfolio Strategies at LBX. “The partnership we have with our dealers has given us the opportunity to use the feedback directly from our customers as the basis of this new 40B series. From increases in productivity to the enhancements in the safety and service of the machine, we’re very excited about what this means for the future of our forestry equipment.”
40B Series machines were developed with site awareness in mind. The 270° birds-eye view with WAVES (Wide Angle Visual Enhancement System) is now standard. Couple all this with industry-leading fuel consumption and productivity, it’s a win-win.

2024 Logger Survey: Working Tough Ground
Loggers across the U.S. responded to Timber Harvesting’s recent 2024 Logger Survey, which showed that contractors in all parts of the country are having a tough time grappling with rising costs and dropping demand in some areas. For example, for the first time ever across 20-plus years of logger surveys, the number of loggers who rate their company’s financial health “poor” (9%) to “very poor” (21%) outnumber those who say “good” (21%) to “very good” (7%)—30% to 28% overall in favor of the negatives.
