What Over $60,000 Gets You
What to Expect
New or low-hour purpose-built forestry machines. Cat 299D3 ($85,000-$120,000 new), John Deere 333G ($100,000-$130,000), ASV RT-120. Factory forestry packages with full guarding.
Tradeoffs
Significant capital. Forestry work depreciates machines faster than standard use. High fuel consumption (4-6 gal/hr) at full mulching power.
Best Strategy
Justified for full-time clearing operations billing $2,000-$5,000+/acre. Factory forestry packages are worth the premium over aftermarket. Finance over 48-60 months at $1,200-$2,000/month.
