A machine for you

• 25-tonne load capacity
• Powerful 250 kW engine
• Crane options: 165F crane with 7.5 / 8.5 / 10 m reach; optional stronger 205F crane
• 8WD with dual hydrostatic motors (XT transmission option)
• Customisable load space with telescopic bunks (with or without optional hydraulic stakes)
• Wheel options: 8WD: front 28.5", rear 30.5"; 6WD: front 34", rear 30.5"

Strength and stability
Engineered for high productivity in demanding terrain. Stable design and high ground clearance enable reliable navigation of rough ground. The 898 8WD features a next-generation hydrostatic transmission with a larger pump and dual hydraulic motors to deliver high tractive force (up to 345 kN).

Robust load space
The load space includes a durable gate with adjustable height, telescopic bunks with width extension, hydraulically raiseable gate, foldable gate wideners lockable in folded or unfolded position, and optional hydraulic stakes to improve crane efficiency and reduce fuel consumption.

Crane and grapple
The 205F crane option is the strongest configuration for increased productivity in final cutting and plantation work. Compatible with large grapple models (e.g. G88H) and specialised grapples for bioenergy or heavy-duty handling.

Options

• Komatsu Comfort Ride (cab/ride damping and comfort features)
