This 2022 John Deere 959ML is a feller buncher — a purpose-built forestry machine designed to cut standing trees at the base and gather them into bunches for subsequent processing or forwarding. Sometimes referred to as a tree harvester or cut-to-length head carrier in logging operations, feller bunchers are essential equipment in commercial timber harvesting, land clearing, and forestry management. John Deere is a globally recognized manufacturer of heavy equipment across agriculture, construction, and forestry, with its forestry line well regarded for durability and performance in demanding woodland environments.
This used machine is located in Oregon, USA, and is offered at $479,500. It is equipped with a tilt cab and a flat skylight, giving the operator improved overhead visibility — a practical advantage when working among standing timber. The machine rides on 28-inch pads, which provide the ground-bearing surface appropriate for the soft and uneven terrain commonly encountered in Pacific Northwest logging operations.
A fire suppression system is fitted, a standard safety provision for forestry equipment operating in environments where the risk of fire from hot components and dry debris is a genuine concern. The machine is also configured with a low-lift front and a T-Marr 60-inch grapple, the latter being the cutting and gathering head that seizes and shears trees at ground level. The 60-inch grapple opening indicates suitability for handling substantial timber volumes per cycle.
