Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a cable skidder and a grapple skidder?

Cable skidders use a winch and cables to pull timber. Grapple skidders use a hydraulic grapple to grip and move timber. Supply Post’s skidder listings include examples of both configurations.

What should I check before buying a used skidder?

Review maintenance records, major component repairs, hydraulic condition, and tire or undercarriage wear. Confirm parts and service support in your region. Supply Post’s forestry buying guidance explains why machine hours alone do not tell the whole story.

How can I find skidders near my operation?
