This Tigercat 822D is a used feller buncher — sometimes referred to as a tree harvester — a purpose-built forestry machine designed to cut standing timber at the base and gather multiple stems into a bundle before placing them for subsequent processing. Tigercat is a well-regarded manufacturer specialising in purpose-built logging and forestry equipment, serving the forest harvesting industry with machines engineered for demanding cut-to-length and tree-length operations.
This 2020 model is located in South Carolina, USA, and is offered at $235,000. According to the seller, it is equipped with a full-rotation 5702 saw head fitted with a heavy-duty wrist, a configuration that allows the cutting attachment to swing through a complete 360 degrees, giving the operator significant reach and flexibility when felling trees at varying angles without repositioning the machine. The HD wrist designation indicates a reinforced mounting designed to withstand the rigours of high-cycle production harvesting.
The machine rides on 36-inch tri-track undercarriage, a triple-track arrangement that distributes the machine's weight across a wider footprint, improving stability and flotation on soft or uneven ground common in logging environments. The seller reports the undercarriage is at 80% or better remaining wear life, indicating meaningful service life still available on the tracks.
