Features
Productivity
- These machines feature more powerful dual-swing drives for increased productivity.
- Rapid Cycle System (RCS) option combines automated felling-head arm cycling with simple boom control — dramatically reducing operator fatigue while increasing efficiency and productivity. And, multiple RCS settings can be saved according to individual operator preferences. Novices may prefer a slower, more methodical pace, while highly skilled pros may want faster response.
- The operator station features upgrades such as increased space, ergonomically designed controls, and increased visibility, allowing for a more comfortable workspace and increased productivity.
Efficiency
- Standard boom cutting swaths of 17 ft. 10 in. help deliver more cuts with less machine movement.
- John Deere’s FT4/Stage V PowerTech Plus PSS diesel engines meet emission regulations without sacrificing power or torque. Built on our EPA Interim Tier 4 (IT4)/ EU Stage IIIB solution, this simple technology delivers a winning combination of performance, fluid efficiency, and reliability.
- The hydraulic reversing fan automatically reverses airflow to clean debris from the cooler cores, so you spend less downtime for maintenance. The fan runs at preset intervals, or if conditions demand more frequent cleaning, operators can simply press a button to actuate the reversing cycle.
Safety
- Reliable tractive effort enables easy maneuvering in difficult or steep terrain, deep snow, and swamps. And a longer, wider undercarriage maximizes stability in all terrain conditions, ensuring your operator’s safety.
