Fit in even more productivity.
Need a skidder that can squeeze more productivity out of tight areas?  The 548G-III is the perfect fit.  Combining a compact, lightweight design with superb stability, it maneuvers easily in confined spaces where larger skidders can get bogged down.

The 548G-III skidder features an industry-leading grapple that maintains constant clamp force, even if a load gets jarred. And a powerful John Deere engine that delivers ample horsepower and high torque rise, along with industry-leading fuel efficiency.

Smooth-shifting direct-drive PowerShift™ transmission puts more power to the axles, so you can pull more wood out of close quarters. The new Autoshift option reduces fatigue by eliminating manual shifting and allowing the operator to focus on pulling the load.
