Description :

Available in Rockville, Indiana, this KMC 1000AG track skidder for sale is a specialized steel-track forestry machine now priced at just $55,000 OBO after a major series of price reductions.

The machine was originally offered at $70,000, reduced to $67,999, then to $64,999, and has now received its largest reduction yet — dropping another $9,999 to $55,000 OBO.

That puts the current asking price $15,000 below the original price, a total reduction of more than 21%.

The seller reports that the machine is in great working order, states that the transmission has been rebuilt, and is ready to move the machine. Serious buyers are encouraged to make an offer.

For logging contractors, timber operations, land-clearing companies, right-of-way crews, and buyers specifically searching for a used KMC track skidder, this is a significant opportunity to consider a highly specialized forestry machine at a substantially reduced asking price.

Specialized Steel-Track Forestry Design

The KMC 1000 Series was built around a very different concept than a conventional rubber-tired grapple skidder.

Instead of forestry tires, the machine uses a fully tracked steel undercarriage intended for demanding off-road environments. Published information from the U.S. Forest Service identifies the KMC 1000 Series as a tracked prime mover with two steel tracks, approximately 22-inch track shoes, substantial ground clearance, and configurations specifically intended for forestry work.

The U.S. Forest Service KMC 1000 Series equipment reference provides useful historical model-family specifications for buyers researching these machines.

This type of configuration can be attractive to operators working in conditions where flotation, traction, stability, and access are major considerations.

Potential applications can include:

• Timber skidding
• Commercial logging
• Select-cut operations
• Land clearing
• Right-of-way clearing
• Utility corridor work
• Timberland management
• Storm cleanup
• Soft-ground forestry
• Muddy operating environments
• Uneven or difficult terrain
• Specialized off-road projects

Actual suitability depends on the machine's current configuration, terrain, undercarriage condition, operator experience, attachments, and the buyer's intended application.

Seller Reports Great Working Order

The seller describes this KMC 1000AG skidder as being in great working order.

That matters on a specialized forestry machine where drivetrain, steering, hydraulics, final drives, and undercarriage condition can have a major effect on ownership costs.

The seller is not simply testing the market at the original $70,000 price. After multiple reductions, the machine is now at $55,000 OBO, and the seller has made it clear that they are ready to get it moved.

Buyers should still perform an operational inspection and verify the systems important to their intended use before purchase.

Rebuilt Transmission

One of the most important seller-reported mechanical details is the rebuilt transmission.

A transmission rebuild can represent substantial work on a tracked forestry machine, and buyers evaluating this KMC should consider that repair history alongside the current asking price.

The seller has described the transmission as rebuilt. It should not be represented as new.

Specific documentation regarding the rebuild date, work performed, hours accumulated since the rebuild, components replaced, or the shop performing the work has not been supplied.

Buyers should request any available records and evaluate transmission operation during inspection.

Published KMC 1000 Series Powertrain Information

Published U.S. Forest Service specifications show that KMC 1000 Series machines were produced in more than one drivetrain configuration.

The reference identifies:

• Approximately 128 HP Cummins diesel power for certain mechanical-drive configurations
• Approximately 174 HP Cummins diesel power for certain hydrostatic-drive configurations
• A three-speed powershift transmission with integral torque converter on mechanical-drive versions
• Hydrostatic drive on other configurations

Because the exact engine and drivetrain configuration of this individual 1000AG has not been verified from identification plates, those figures are model-family specifications, not confirmed unit-specific specifications.

The engine and drivetrain tags should be checked before purchase when exact horsepower or transmission configuration is important.

Steel Tracks, Clearance and Ground Mobility

The undercarriage is one of the defining features of this steel track skidder.

Published KMC 1000 Series information lists:

• Two steel tracks
• Approximately 22-inch track width
• Approximately 19 inches of ground clearance
• Published ground-pressure figures of approximately 6.03 PSI at zero penetration and 3.95 PSI at six inches of penetration under the conditions used for the reference specifications

Those published numbers should be treated as model-family reference data rather than measurements of this individual machine.

For any tracked forestry machine, undercarriage condition deserves careful inspection. Buyers should evaluate track pads, chains, sprockets, rollers, idlers, track adjustment components, final drives, and visible wear before making a purchase decision.

Hydraulic Capability and Forestry Attachments

Published KMC 1000 Series information lists approximately 37 GPM of attachment hydraulic flow at 3,500 PSI. The same historical reference shows that the platform could be configured with forestry and specialty equipment including winches, dozer blades, grapple arrangements, choker arches, backhoes, cranes, augers, and dump-bed configurations.

These were model-family configurations and available attachments.

They should not be interpreted as equipment automatically included with this particular machine. Buyers should base the sale only on the attachments and equipment physically present and confirmed by the seller.

Substantial Forestry Machine

Published dimensions for the KMC 1000 Series illustrate the size of the platform.

Commonly published model-family dimensions include:

• Approximately 17 ft. 4 in. bare-machine length
• Approximately 96 in. overall width
• Approximately 10 ft. 6 in. height
• Approximately 19 in. ground clearance

Published weight varies considerably with forestry configuration.

The U.S. Forest Service reference lists approximately:

• 23,860 lb. with choker arch
• 26,031 lb. with single-arch grapple
• 26,280 lb. with dual-arch grapple
• 27,350 lb. with swing grapple

Actual transport weight and dimensions of this machine should be confirmed before dispatching a truck.

Built From a Long-Running Tracked-Machine Concept

KMC's tracked equipment lineage extends far beyond a single forestry model. The current KMC MAX organization describes the platform behind its machines as having more than 60 years of tracked engineering history, with earlier designs adapted for forestry and other difficult-terrain applications.

Buyers interested in the manufacturer's history can review the KMC tracked-platform history.

That history helps explain why machines such as the 1000 Series are so different from ordinary wheeled skidders: they were developed around specialized tracked mobility rather than simply adapting a conventional rubber-tired forestry chassis.
