Forestry machinery prices in the Philippines

Updated 4 November 2026

A forestry machine in the Philippines costs about ₱460 for a consumer chainsaw, ₱89,500 to ₱179,000 for a log splitter, and ₱84,000 to ₱488,000 for a tracked mulcher. The fastest way to current prices for your job is a free request on BlaBlaPrice, where sellers reply with the model and terms.

These are listing prices, and the top of each range is for large or new machines. Forestry loaders and tree harvester heads are listed far above these figures, so the price depends on whether you need a small machine for clearing or an industrial one for logging.

Permits and the rules to check

Cutting timber on forestlands is governed by Presidential Decree 705, the Revised Forestry Code, so confirm the permits for the land before you buy a machine. Agricultural and fisheries machinery falls under Republic Act 10601, which requires dealers to provide after-sales service. That law covers farm machinery rather than forestry equipment, so ask the seller to put the same service promise in writing and to confirm that spare parts are available in your city.

The wet and dry seasons decide the work

The climate is tropical: hot all year, with a wet and a dry season instead of winter and summer. Heavy rain makes forest tracks soft and slows tracked machines, so plan clearing and hauling for the drier months and build in spare days for the rainy weeks. Heat also means cooling systems, air filters and fuel need checking more often than in cooler countries.

How machines are bought and moved

Ask whether the quoted price includes delivery to your site, and whether delivery is possible to Manila, Quezon City, Cebu City, Davao City or Makati. Specifications are given in metric units: payload in kilograms, log diameter in centimetres, tank capacity in litres and the work area in hectares. Compare machines with the same units, because a payload given in tonnes and one given in kilograms are easy to mix up.

What to write in your request

Say whether you want to buy or rent, and for how long. Add the machine type, the model if you have one, the payload, the year you want, the engine hours you accept, the scope of work, the district, the lease term and your budget in pesos. Those details let sellers quote the right machine the first time.

Describe the job in your own words in the chat on BlaBlaPrice, and a photo of the site helps.

Registered sellers reply in the chat with their offer and terms, and your contacts stay hidden until you decide to exchange them.
