Feller Buncher Financing and Leasing

Finance the carrier and head as a documented package

Record the carrier’s make, model, year, serial number and hours, then identify the installed felling head separately. Ask the seller to list included guarding, control equipment, spare cutting components and attachments. If the head has been replaced, its age and service history may differ from the carrier’s.

Tigercat’s felling-head range illustrates why head selection matters: different attachments serve different timber and harvesting applications. Have the supplier confirm the compatibility of the specific carrier and head being offered.

Fit the machine to timber, terrain and the rest of the crew

Explain whether the work involves thinning, plantation harvesting or larger timber, and describe the operating terrain. Tracked and wheeled machines are not interchangeable purchases. In its track feller buncher range, Tigercat distinguishes machines for different production and terrain requirements.

Assess the complete harvesting operation before adding cutting capacity. Extraction, processing, transport and staffing can limit what an additional buncher earns. Use actual contracts and realistic operating days to explain the purchase, rather than relying on a machine’s maximum production claim.

Price used-machine repairs before setting the loan amount

Arrange an independent inspection covering the head, saw or shear components, boom and mounts, hydraulic functions, running gear, guards and service records. Ask about structural repairs and previous damage. For a tracked unit, obtain a written estimate for undercarriage work if wear is significant.

Compare service support near your jobsites and how parts will reach the machine. Include initial repairs and transport in your acquisition budget, while retaining operating cash for fuel, cutting consumables and field service. A lower purchase price can lose its advantage if downtime interrupts the whole crew.

Build the payment plan around forestry cash flow

Set out the cutting schedule, customer-payment terms, weather interruptions and planned maintenance shutdowns. Explain the effect of losing a major contract or working fewer days than expected. Seasonal payment structures may be discussed where a lender offers them; they are not automatic.

Compare equipment loans and lease proposals using the cash contribution, total payments, fees and end-of-term obligations. Confirm how a replacement head, trade-in or early sale would be handled under the proposed agreement.

Prepare a complete forestry equipment enquiry

Send the itemized quote, carrier and head identifiers, hours, inspection findings and business location. Disclose any outstanding finance on a trade-in or seller-owned machine. Private-sale and auction requests need enough time for ownership checks and accepted payment arrangements.
