Selling a forestry or clearing machine
Forestry machines are expensive to build, which keeps their parts in demand.
Heads and attachments
Mulching heads and harvesting heads can be worth a lot on their own. Tell us the make and condition. A head that works can be worth more than the carrier under it.
Guarding
Heavy guarding adds weight and some value. Damaged guarding is normal. Guarding is steel and counts toward the value.
Fire risk
Forestry machines catch fire more often than most. Burned machines are still bought. Tell us where the fire started and how much burned.
Remote locations
We buy machines that are already back in the Lower Mainland or Fraser Valley, or at sites a lowbed can reach. Logging roads need a firm surface and room to turn a lowbed.
Hauling
Forestry machines are often wide and tall. Oversize permits may be needed. We plan routes, permits and any pilot cars.
Diesel rules
In Metro Vancouver, these machines fall under Bylaw 1329 if they have diesel engines of 25 hp or more. Machines used outside the region aren't covered.
Mulchers
Dedicated tracked mulchers and excavators fitted with mulching heads come up often from land-clearing contractors. The head and the carrier are valued separately. Tell us the rotor width and whether the machine has high-flow hydraulics to run it.
Feller bunchers and processors
Tracked feller bunchers and processors are big, specialized machines. Tell us the model and whether the head is still on. They're bought running or not.
Photos that help
Each side, the head or attachment, the cab and the undercarriage. Guards and damage are worth showing. A photo of the serial plate helps too.
After pickup
Heads, engines, hydraulics and track groups are often resold. Guarding and frames are recycled as steel. Fluids are drained first, and nothing is dumped.
Logging contractors
Logging and clearing contractors often retire machines at the end of a contract or a season. They can sit in a yard for years before they're sold. Tell us where the machine is now and how a lowbed can reach it.
Mulching heads and teeth
A mulching head with worn teeth and a sound rotor still has value. Tell us the make, the rotor condition and whether the drive works. Spare teeth and holders can go with it.
Fire-damaged machines
Forestry machines that burned are bought as they sit. The frame, the undercarriage and the steel still count. Tell us where the fire started and send photos.
Straight answers
Questions we get
Do you buy mulching heads on their own?
Yes, if they're with other machines or worth the trip.
Do you buy fire-damaged forestry machines?
Yes. Tell us how much burned.
Can you pick up from a logging road?
If a lowbed can get in safely, yes.
Do you buy mulchers?
Yes. Tracked mulchers and mulching heads are bought running or not.
Do you buy feller bunchers?
Yes. Tell us the model and whether the head is still on.
Do you handle oversize permits?
Yes. We plan the permits and routes for wide machines.
Do you buy forestry machines from remote sites?
We buy machines that are back in the Lower Mainland or the Fraser Valley, or at sites a lowbed can reach. Tell us where it is now.
Do you buy harvesting heads on their own?
Yes. A harvesting or processing head can be worth a lot on its own. Tell us the make and whether it works.
Do you buy clearing machines with guarding damage?
Yes. Bent and damaged guarding is normal on clearing machines, and it's steel that counts toward the value.
Bush machine retired?
Send the machine type and where it sits. We'll call back with a figure.
