A machine as responsive as the company that built it.
The story goes like this: You asked for it and John Deere listened - the new D-Series Swing Machines combine plenty of new features to give you productivity like never before. Swing torque, tractive effort, horsepower, hydraulic flow, and the seamless integration of the attachment and carrier are all worth bragging about. The 2954D boasts 12 more inches of additional reach and a larger arm cylinder that promises additional lifting power. It's these powerful features that make each machine as responsive as the company that made it.

Features
Key Features
- Improved horsepower
- Updated hydraulic system
- Greater reach and lifting capacity
- Increased swing torque
Engine
- John Deere PowerTech™ engines, which meet EPA Tier 3 emissions requirements, boast excellent fuel economy with high torque at low rpms.
Productivity
- The robust machine design gives you powerful performance, no matter what model or configuration you choose.Deere is the industry leader in attachment integration, with purpose-built processing fronts and integrated attachments delivered from the factory.
Cab and Monitor
- The side-entry cab has integral vertical bars and polycarbonate windows, meeting all safety requirements for forestry applications while maximizing visibility.
- Climate control is available with side-entry cabs, while the rear-entry option comes with increased air-conditioning capacity to ensure operator comfort in the larger roomy cabs.
- Covered in durable cloth, the seat can be custom fit to ensure that all levers and pedals are easily accessible to whoever is king of the forest at any given time. The seat also features a reclining back with adjustable armrests and headrest for extra comfort.
- To complement great forward visibility, sight lines have been verified using 3-D modeling to maximize worksite visibility.
- Joystick controls and accessory switches are within easy reach for your operator's convenience and safety.
Processing Package
- D-Series Processors are factory engineered and integrated with Waratah heads - a harvesting package that's tough to beat.
- Waratah attachments are known for their durability, reliability, and precision - all attributes that optimize your harvesting productivity and uptime.
- The John Deere processor package has gone through no-holds-barred testing to ensure compatibility and reliability in even the most challenging environments.
- The machine's hydraulic system is designed to provide maximum hydraulic performance to the attachment, resulting in improved functioning performance and increased speed.
Uptime
- Each D-Series Swing Machine can take on even the toughest of forests, with a tough, next-size-up swing system and heavy-duty upper frames.
- External screening, sealed cooler compartment, and optional automatic reversing fan help eliminate the downtime associated with cooling-system servicing.
- Strong boom-tower arrangement, thick base plates, after-welding machining in critical areas, and large-diameter swing bearings make these machines extremely durable.
- New heavy-duty booms and arms are ready to take on all applications, whether it be building roads or processing or handling trees.
- Robust structures, next-size-up components and drive systems, and heavy-duty track chains deliver both productivity and durability.
- Three-piece heavy-duty engine enclosure, new under-house protection system, new hydraulic filler guard and muffler protection, and heavier right rear door all work to keep the machine's valuable components safe from damage.
- The boom-foot area has been strengthened and is now machined after all welding is complete. This, along with the addition of turned and ground pins and new boom and arm designs, keeps the D-Series running and eliminates unnecessary downtime.
- The hydraulically driven on-demand fan runs only when needed, maximizing the use of available horsepower and reducing fuel consumption and noise. The reversing-fan option eliminates the downtime usually needed for cooling-package maintenance.
- Integrated in the left side guarding, the debris-management system keeps materials and debris from entering the cooling-package area to enhance your total productivity.
- The newly designed log loader fronts, purpose-built processor fronts, and heavy-duty excavator fronts allow the machines to keep running in the toughest applications.
Maintenance/Low Daily Operating Costs
- Cool-on-demand, variable-speed, hydraulically driven cooling fan reduces fuel consumption and noise. The reversing-fan option improves uptime by keeping your robust cooling system clean.
- Remote-mounted engine and hydraulic oil filters and dynamic test ports ease service.
- Newly designed with accessibility in mind, the oil filters can be changed quickly and easily to improve productivity through effortless regular maintenance.
- Designed for optimal fuel economy, the John Deere PowerTech™ engine provides hearty performance with manageable fuel costs.
- Newly relocated forward and outboard, and accessed via strategically located handholds, the fuel filler enables for faster and easier fueling.
- Perforations in the hood and left rear door serve as a first filter, preventing trash entry. Anything that passes through will also need to clear the cooler cores.
- Strategically placed dynamic fluid-sampling valves make preventive maintenance easy.
Other Features/Options
- An optional deluxe seat offers low-frequency suspension with automatic weight adjustment, 24-volt air suspension, heated seat and back cushions, variable-suspension damper, double-locking roller slide rails, seat-cushion extension and tilt, and adjustable armrests. Available with either a lap belt or four-point restraint system for shovel-logging applications - operators can focus on work, without sliding out of their seats.
- Rear-entry cab option offers external guards combined with polycarbonate or glass windows to ensure operator safety. These cabs are much larger for added comfort and storage, and they provide improved access whether you're coming or going.
- Standard on factory-installed processor hydraulics and optional on all other configurations, the auxiliary oil cooler complements the main cooling system and is recommended for high-duty cycle applications.
