Power Up with Pierce Forestry Work Tools
Built for extreme climate and work conditions, Pierce Forestry Work Tools are rugged enough for anything your logging operation can dish out.
FORESTRY GRAPPLES:
THE NEW SERIES
How does less service and more uptime grab you? For more than 40 years, Pierce has been manufacturing hydraulic forestry grapples using input from professional loggers like you. As machinery and loggers get stronger, so do our grapples. The result is a product that does all the things you need it to do, easily and efficiently. They feature optimum arm shape for big wood, tight grapple closure for superior small log control, load check valves to eliminate the risk of dropping your payload, and heavy-duty legs that possess the optimum shape for shovel logging, loading, unloading and sorting.

PBS3440 BAR SAW.
The PBS 3440 is stronger, safer, and more productive than competitive disk-style saws. Instead of cutting before grabbing the stem, the PBS3440 secures the tree first, then cuts–a significant safety advantage on steep slopes. And ours is the only saw on the market capable of a 36” (single-pass) cutting capacity. This means no more wasted time double cutting.
Also, cutting a straight, square butt eliminates extra steps with the processor, saving your operation valuable time while maximizing production. Reverse cutting and no recovery time, as well as minimal maintenance, less demand for handfallers, and less fuel consumption makes the PBS3440 a cut above anything out there.
WHY A PIERCE BAR SAW?
- Strong, durable saw that is not “disposable” after a short life span.
- Strong, simple structure–not a pasted together weldment.
- Primarily suited for the applications of the Pacific Northwest and Western Canada.
- Does not require frequent reconditioning after each season.
- Does not require structural reinforcements before it cuts a single tree.
