In this issue we feature the all-new 1270H and 1470H Harvesters.
The 1270H and 1470H Harvesters deliver impressive engine power and torque, enabling faster cycle times and improved cutting efficiency compared to the G Series. Advanced hydraulic systems, now featuring three dedicated pumps, provide greater power for feed rollers, saw units and boom movements. Compared to the G Series, H Series Harvesters enable significantly increased productivity and remarkably lower fuel consumption per harvested cubic meter.
Intelligent Boom Control (IBC) 2.0, standard on H Series Harvesters, provides smooth, precise movements, helping to reduce fatigue and increase accuracy.
Active Frame Lock brings more stability compared to our previous harvesters, whether working on steep slopes or flat ground. This makes it easier to work when the boom is sideways and gives the operator a larger working area.
John Deere prioritizes operator comfort and efficiency across the H Series Harvesters and Forwarders. The new H Series cabin features an expanded glass area for improved visibility, along with a quieter interior and a rotating and levelling cabin to enhance precision and reduce operator strain. Ergonomic controls, programmable joysticks and a premium sound system create a user-friendly experience. The Intelligent Cabin Key acts as a personalized remote, unlocking the cabin, powering on the PC and automatically loading operator-specific settings to streamline workflow.
The new H Series lineup integrates next-generation digital tools to simplify operations and help reduce unplanned machine downtime. TimberMatic H Automation features a redesigned interface with intuitive controls, night/day display modes, real-time data sharing and site mapping to improve planning and execution. While centralized refill points, electric engine oil level sensors and a central greasing system enhance serviceability and maintenance. The H216 Harvester Head, designed to replace the H270, is a versatile two-roller head optimized for both hardwood and softwood applications. It features a top-saw option, advanced feed motors and a find-end laser sensor, supporting precision and efficiency. Available for the 1270H Harvester with boom reach options of 8.6 and 10.0 meters (28 and 33 foot), it also supports the 1470H Harvester with 8.6-, 10-, and 11-meter (28, 33 and 36 foot) reach configurations.
