John Deere's L-II Series Skidders reflect three years of continual refinement based on invaluable input from loggers like you - the ones who live it every day. These upgrades resulted in over 1,600 component changes, including more robust electrical harnesses, fittings, hoses, cylinder guards, grapple-tong teeth, and more.
The L-II Series features improved component placement and dramatically reduced complexity of the electrical and hydraulic systems. All with the goal of improving the overall customer experience. The result is a reengineered machine that is simpler, easier to maintain, and more reliable.

Features
Redesigned electrical and hydraulic systems
Routing of the electrical and hydraulic systems has been simplified significantly to improve reliability and ease of maintenance. Wiring and hoses are better protected against wear and bending. Durable forestry-proven electrical components help extend wear life.
Stronger winches
New two-speed 4000 Winch increases line pull and is faster than the single-speed whinch of previous models, boosting productivity.
More power to the ground
The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) automatically senses the load, delivering more torque and tractive effort as needed to maintain the desired speed.
Easy to operate
No more shifting. Simply set the maximum speed and let the CVT do the rest. There's no need to hunt for the correct gear, shortening the learning curve for new operators, while helping experienced pros maximize productivity.
Superb power and stability
Combining impressive horsepower and power-to-weight ratio with a constant engine speed, L-II Series Skidders deliver superb responsiveness with maximum efficiency. Rock-solid stability provides excellent pulling power, especially when climbing hills, navigating adverse terrain, or hauling bigger payloads.Related
