This 2020 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, the feller buncher is a core piece of equipment in timber harvesting operations. John Deere is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of construction, agricultural, and forestry machinery, and its forestry line is respected across logging operations in North America and beyond.
This used machine is located in Washington, USA, and is offered at $299,500. It is equipped with a forestry cab featuring air conditioning and a flat skylight, providing operators with comfort and overhead visibility during demanding timber operations. The cab configuration is consistent with heavy forestry duty, where clear sightlines and climate control are important for productivity and operator safety.
The machine is fitted with 28-inch double-bar pads, which are wide-footprint track shoes suited to soft or uneven ground conditions commonly encountered in Pacific Northwest logging environments, helping to distribute machine weight and improve traction and flotation. An APEX Fire Suppression System is installed, an important safety feature in forestry equipment where the risk of fire from debris accumulation near hot components is a genuine operational concern. The felling head fitted to this machine is the FL100, a dedicated cutting attachment that severs and accumulates trees at the stump, forming the bunches that give this class of machine its name.
