This Caterpillar D3K2 LGP Mulcher is a purpose-built mulcher — sometimes referred to as a forestry mulcher or land-clearing machine — designed to grind, shred, and process vegetation, brush, stumps, and timber directly on site. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognised heavy equipment manufacturers, producing machinery for construction, forestry, mining, land management, and related industries, and backing it with an extensive dealer service network.
This 2020 machine was ordered in 2019 and delivered in July 2020, making it a late-model unit. It is fitted with mulcher model HM518 and carries the LGP (Low Ground Pressure) undercarriage configuration, which widens the track spread and reduces ground bearing pressure for operation on soft or sensitive terrain. The track package runs 25-inch single grousers at a 45.5-inch grouser height. At 525 hours the unit received a full Cat dealer service covering engine oil and oil filter, fuel filters, engine and cabin air filters, and hydraulic filters, providing a documented maintenance record at low hours.
One of the most notable features of this machine is the rare factory-fitted H4A hydraulic winch, a configuration noted by the seller as carrying a $50,000 value. The H4A employs a versatile design that can be powered by a dedicated pump on the dozer, by an implement circuit such as the ripper hydraulics, or by a PTO output driving a pump mounted within the winch itself, creating a hydrostatic arrangement capable of higher horsepower output. Its high line-pull capacity extends the working range of this class of dozer into forestry, land management, and energy industry support roles that would otherwise demand a significantly larger machine. The winch also includes a freespool manual lever for added operational flexibility, along with a fairlead. The listing additionally includes a blade and a root rake.
The cab is a fully enclosed EROPS unit equipped with air conditioning, an air-suspension seat, AM/FM Bluetooth radio, and a rear-view camera. Operator aids include joystick steering controls, sweeps, lighting, side and rear window screens, and a back-up alarm. Supporting machine management and uptime, the unit features Caterpillar Product Link telematics, a block heater, and ether starting aid. Engine enclosures are fitted, and the machine carries a 2019 stationary diesel engine EPA label. This used Caterpillar D3K2 LGP Mulcher is located in North Carolina, USA, and is listed at $225,900.
