This Deere 748H is a used logging skidder — sometimes referred to as a skidder or grapple skidder — a purpose-built piece of forestry equipment designed to drag or carry felled timber from the cutting area to a landing or roadside for further processing. Deere is a globally recognised manufacturer of heavy equipment, agricultural machinery, and forestry machines, with a long-standing reputation across the logging and timber industries.
This 2014 machine is located in Minnesota, USA, and is offered at $44,000. It is configured as a grapple skidder, equipped with a dual-function grapple that allows the operator to both grip and position logs efficiently. A stacking blade is fitted at the front, enabling the machine to push and organise timber at the landing. The unit does not include a winch, so buyers seeking cable-skidder capability should note this configuration accordingly.
The cab is enclosed and fitted with air conditioning, providing a controlled working environment for operators in demanding seasonal forestry conditions. A ROPS structure is in place, meeting rollover protection requirements typical of rough-terrain forestry work.
The axles are specified as Super Wide HD — heavy-duty, wide-track units designed to improve stability and ground contact on uneven or soft terrain. Complementing this, the machine rides on flotation tires, which distribute the machine's weight over a broader footprint to reduce ground disturbance and improve traction in soft, muddy, or sensitive forest floor conditions.
