“The best advice I can give is save every penny you can when the going is good because it will turn bad, and you can get through it.” — Justin Everhart, JEM Forestry

Justin Everhart and his crew at JEM Forestry have built a reputation for tackling some of the steepest, wettest, and most challenging logging ground in Idaho.

A self-described “diehard Tigercat fan,” Everhart runs an impressive lineup that includes a Tigercat 830E feller buncher, LS855E shovel logger, and 625H skidder, alongside Link-Belt shovels with Waratah processing heads, a Tractionline winch assist system, CAT forestry equipment, and more. His latest investment, the Tigercat 625H skidder, has helped extend JEM’s logging season and opened the door to jobs they previously would have had to pass up.
