This 2015 Deere 853M is a used feller buncher, a self-propelled forestry machine designed to cut standing trees at the base and gather them into bunches for extraction — sometimes referred to as a cut-and-bunch machine. John Deere is one of the world's most recognised manufacturers of agricultural, construction, and forestry equipment, with a long-established reputation for producing purpose-built machines suited to demanding outdoor environments.
The machine is equipped with a cab fitted with air conditioning, providing operator comfort during extended shifts in varying weather conditions. It runs narrow pads, which are typically chosen for applications where ground bearing pressure needs to be managed or where working in tighter stand conditions is required. The boom configuration is standard, offering a proven reach and geometry suited to general felling operations.
The cutting head is a Quadco 22B High Rotation saw operating in continuous rotation mode. The Quadco 22B is a disc saw head, and the high-rotation configuration is well regarded in production felling for its aggressive cutting speed and efficiency across a range of timber sizes. Continuous rotation allows the head to spin without stop-and-reverse cycling, reducing cycle times and improving overall productivity.
This unit is located in New Hampshire, USA, and is offered at $193,883.
