This Caterpillar 553C is a used feller buncher, a type of forestry machine — sometimes referred to as a tree harvester — designed to grip, cut, and accumulate standing timber in a single operation. Caterpillar is one of the world's foremost manufacturers of heavy construction, mining, and forestry equipment, and their feller bunchers are widely used in commercial logging and land-clearing operations.
This 2015 machine is located in New Jersey, USA, and is fitted with an SH56B feller bunching head, making it a complete, ready-to-work cutting unit. The seller notes that it has been well maintained and regularly serviced throughout its working life.
The unit is also available as part of a complete forestry package alongside a Peterson 6700B Horizontal Grinder and a Caterpillar 525C skip loader equipped with a grapple and dozer blade, which are listed separately by the same seller.
