About this machine
This Caterpillar 553C is a feller buncher — a purpose-built forestry machine used to cut standing trees at the base and gather them into bunches for subsequent skidding or forwarding. Sometimes referred to as a tree harvester, feller bunchers are a cornerstone of mechanised timber harvesting operations. Caterpillar is one of the world's most established manufacturers of heavy construction and forestry equipment, producing machines that serve industries ranging from logging and land clearing to mining and infrastructure.
This example was built in 2014 and is offered in used condition from South Carolina, USA, priced at $22,000. According to the seller, the machine runs and operates, meaning it is mobile and functional; however, a significant mechanical concern is disclosed — the engine has a bad knock. Prospective buyers should factor in the likely cost of engine inspection, diagnosis, and repair or replacement before putting the machine into productive service. The asking price may reflect this condition.
