Description

This Caterpillar 525B grapple skidder (serial 3KZ01584) is offered as a parts and donor unit, not a running forestry machine. The seller states the engine (motor) are not included, but that all other components remain on the unit — priced at $12,000 for the package as-is, where-is. The Cat 525B is a purpose-built wheeled grapple skidder from Caterpillar's forestry line (~1996–2005 production). As a parts donor, value shifts to the grapple head, axles, diffs, hydraulic system, articulation frame, cab, and remaining drivetrain components — minus the two largest assemblies the seller has already removed or excluded. A parts bin photo in the seller's document shows additional loose components (radiators, air cleaner housing, guards, hoses) that may be included with the sale — confirm with seller.
