Seller-Reported Remanufactured Engine
One of the most important reported features is the remanufactured engine.
Engine replacement can represent a major expense on older forestry equipment, so the presence of a remanufactured engine may be important to prospective buyers. However, the seller has not provided:

Engine manufacturer or model
Installation date
Hours since installation
Remanufacturer information
Service invoices
Warranty information
Supporting engine documentation

Interested buyers should request these details and independently inspect the engine.
The engine is being described specifically as remanufactured based on seller-provided information. It should not be considered new or fully rebuilt unless supporting documentation confirms otherwise.
Built for Logging and Timber Handling
The John Deere 748 family was designed for demanding forestry applications where maneuverability, traction, hydraulic grapple operation, and timber-handling capability are important.
A grapple skidder allows an operator to gather felled timber hydraulically and transport logs from the cutting area toward a landing or processing location.
Depending on its exact configuration and present mechanical condition, this skidder may be suitable for:

Commercial logging
Timber harvesting
Sawmill support
Land clearing
Storm cleanup
Woodland management
Log handling
Moving timber to landings
Firewood operations
Lumber-production support

Rear Grapple Configuration
The seller identifies this machine as a 748 grapple skidder, indicating a rear hydraulic forestry grapple designed for gathering and carrying logs.
Exact information regarding the grapple has not been supplied, including:

Maximum grapple opening
Grapple capacity
Single-function or dual-function configuration
Pins and bushings
Boom condition
Hydraulic cylinder condition
Grapple rotation
Hydraulic leaks

Buyers should inspect the grapple assembly under operation and check the boom structure, cylinders, hoses, pins, bushings, and associated hydraulic components.
Four-Wheel-Drive Articulated Forestry Design
John Deere 748 machines are associated with articulated four-wheel-drive forestry configurations designed for maneuverability in wooded terrain.
Actual performance will depend heavily on the condition of this particular machine, including its tires, axles, drivetrain, transmission, articulation components, hydraulics, and grapple system.
No current tire percentage or drivetrain-condition information has been provided.
Condition and Buyer Inspection
Beyond the seller-reported remanufactured engine, detailed mechanical-condition information has not been supplied.
Prospective buyers should inspect or have the skidder inspected before purchase. Important areas to evaluate include:

Cold-start performance
Engine operation
Transmission engagement
Forward and reverse operation
Articulation joint
Steering
Brakes
Front blade operation, if equipped
Grapple operation
Hydraulic pressure and response
Hydraulic leaks
Center pins and bushings
Axles and final drives
Driveline components
Tire condition
Cab and controls
Structural components

For older logging equipment, an operating inspection can provide considerably more information than photographs alone.

The seller has reduced the price by $2,001 and remains open to reasonable offers.
