This Caterpillar 326F is a used processor harvester — a purpose-built forestry machine, sometimes referred to as a harvester or forestry processor, designed to fell, delimb, and process timber in the field. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of heavy equipment, producing machinery for construction, mining, forestry, and a broad range of industrial applications.
Built in 2016 and located in Virginia, USA, this machine is offered at $175,000. It has accumulated a total of 5,938 hours, of which 2,553 are recorded as idle hours, leaving approximately 3,385 working hours on the machine — a distinction worth noting for buyers assessing drivetrain and component wear.
The harvester is fitted with a Rotobec RPA Grapple Saw, which provides the primary cutting and grappling capability for timber operations. A Cat Pin Grabber Quick Coupler is also installed, giving the operator the ability to swap attachments efficiently in the field. Auxiliary hydraulics and tool control are present, supporting the operation of hydraulic attachments and ensuring compatibility with a range of forestry implements.
Forestry guarding and a custom cage have been fitted to protect the machine and operator in demanding timber environments, where falling debris and dense vegetation are routine hazards. Underfoot, the machine runs on 31.5-inch triple grouser pads, which provide the grip and ground contact suited to soft, uneven forestry terrain.
