Selling your equipment is simple. Submit your machine through our sell page with basic details including year, make, model, hours, condition, and photos. Our team will review your submission and reach out with options including a direct purchase offer, trade-in value, or consignment listing terms.

What is consignment and how does it work?
Consignment means we market and sell your equipment on your behalf while you retain ownership until it sells. We handle photography, listing creation, buyer inquiries, and negotiations. You set the minimum price and we earn a commission on the sale. It is a hands-off way to reach more buyers. Submit your machine through our sell page to discuss consignment terms.
How is my equipment valued?

Our experienced team uses industry tools and market intelligence to provide fair and competitive valuations. Contact us for a no-obligation valuation of your equipment.
Equipment Knowledge
What is a skidder used for?
A skidder is a piece of forestry equipment used to pull or drag cut trees from the forest to a landing or log yard. There are two main types: grapple skidders that use a hydraulic grapple to grab logs, and cable skidders that use a winch and chokers. Skidders are essential in logging operations worldwide. Browse our skidder inventory to see available machines.
What is the difference between wheel and track feller bunchers?
Wheel feller bunchers are mounted on rubber tires and offer faster travel speeds and better mobility on firm, flat terrain. Track feller bunchers run on steel tracks and provide superior traction, flotation, and stability on soft, steep, or uneven ground. The choice depends on your terrain and operating conditions. See our feller buncher inventory for both types.
What should I look for when buying a used log loader?
When evaluating a used log loader, check the boom and stick for cracks or previous repairs, inspect hydraulic cylinders and hoses for leaks, evaluate the grapple condition and rotation, review the undercarriage or tire wear, and confirm the engine and pump hours match the overall machine condition. A professional inspection report can reveal issues that are not visible during a walk-around. Check our equipment specifications for detailed model data.
Service & Support
