At LAMMA 2026, held at the NEC in Birmingham, a forestry-spec Valtra tractor was officially presented to the UK market with a heavy-duty protection and equipment kit designed for forest and contracting work. The machine was displayed by UK importer CJ Cox Ltd and attracted strong interest from forestry contractors, estate managers, and agricultural operators working in woodland environments.
The show has now concluded, but the forestry-configured tractor stood out as one of the more practical working machines on display, focused on durability rather than concept styling.
Projernac Forestry Kit Transforms Standard Tractor into Forest Machine
The tractor was equipped with a full forestry protection kit manufactured by Projernac, a Slovenian company specializing in forestry adaptations for tractors and machinery.
The kit includes:
- Heavy steel belly and side guards to protect the engine, transmission, and fuel system.
- Reinforced cab protection with external frames and guarding for forestry debris.
- Front protection panels and shielded components for work around timber, branches, and stumps.
- Compatibility with forestry loaders and grapples for log handling.
This type of conversion allows a standard agricultural tractor to be safely used in forestry operations such as timber extraction, roadside clearing, estate maintenance, and biomass work.
Loader Setup Supports Timber and Material Handling
The tractor shown at LAMMA was fitted with a front loader designed for forestry and heavy material handling.
The loader configuration allows:
- Handling of logs, pallets, and bulk materials.
- Operation with grapples, buckets, and forestry attachments.
- Improved visibility and control from the cab for precision work in tight spaces.
Combined with the forestry protection kit, the machine is positioned as a multi-role tractor for farms, contractors, and forestry operations that need one tractor to cover both field and woodland tasks.
UK Importer CJ Cox Ltd Brings Forestry Specification to British Market
The machine was presented in partnership with CJ Cox Ltd, the UK importer responsible for bringing this forestry-configured tractor setup to British customers. Their focus is on offering tractors adapted for real working conditions, not just standard farm use.
The LAMMA 2026 presentation showed that demand in the UK is growing for tractors that can safely operate in forestry, estate management, and off-road contracting, where protection and durability are critical.
