This 2005 Tigercat 870C is a feller buncher — a purpose-built piece of forestry equipment, sometimes referred to as a tree harvester, designed to grip, cut, and accumulate standing trees before placing them in bunches for subsequent processing. Tigercat is a well-regarded Canadian manufacturer specialising in heavy-duty forestry machinery, including feller bunchers, skidders, forwarders, and harvesters, with a strong following in logging and timber harvesting operations across North America and beyond.
This used machine is located in Northeast Alberta, Canada, and is offered in ready-to-work condition. Power comes from a Cummins DR6134-RX rebuilt drop-in engine rated at 280 horsepower, providing a known-specification powerplant that has been freshly installed. The machine registers 19,970 frame hours, giving buyers a clear picture of its overall usage history. Operating weight without the felling head is 66,870 lbs, reflecting the substantial, heavy-duty construction typical of a machine built to work in demanding boreal and mixed-forest environments.
The undercarriage is fitted with 28-inch pads, suited to soft or uneven ground conditions common in Canadian forestry operations. The felling head is a 5702 unit with full 360-degree rotation, allowing the operator to reach and position trees efficiently without repositioning the machine. An EPA label is present on the unit. The cab is equipped with both air conditioning and a heater, providing year-round operator comfort in the variable climate of Northern Alberta.
Notably, substantial maintenance and rebuilding work has been carried out within the last 2,000 hours, covering the engine, swing gear, pumps, bearings, travel system, and undercarriage — a significant scope of work that addresses the primary wear items on a machine of this type and accumulated hours. Stock number for this unit is 6031 DP. Financing is available, and the seller offers direct worldwide shipping, with export duties, tariffs, and transport costs applied separately. The listed price is $76,691 USD.
