What $25,000 – $40,000 Gets You
What to Expect
8-12 year old CTLs with 2,000-4,000 hours. Bobcat T650/T770, Cat 279D, Kubota SVL75-2. Some have high-flow. May include basic forestry guarding.
Tradeoffs
May lack high-flow — verify before purchasing. Older forestry machines have significant undercarriage and frame wear. Budget $8,000-$12,000 for forestry cab guard if not equipped.
Best Strategy
Entry point for part-time clearing operators. Verify high-flow hydraulics and inspect undercarriage thoroughly. Budget for forestry guarding and first track replacement.
