The operator will have more precise control of the boom tip
John Deere now offers Intelligent Boom Control (IBC) on its 1270G Harvester in North America. IBC provides operators with increased accuracy and productivity and reduces the learning curve for new operators. IBC is available exclusively for the CH7 boom with 10 meter (32.8 feet) and 11.7 meter (38.4 feet) reaches on the 1270G models. IBC enables the operator to control only the harvester head while the system takes care of the boom’s movement. Designed specifically to suit the harvester work cycle, the boom's movement and operation automatically adjust as the boom is taken to a tree and when the tree is in the grapple. IBC enables precise working and the selection of the correct working methods.
The 1270G harvester retains the features from the original launch, which include good fuel economy in both the six- and eight-wheel models. The six-wheel model has a 200 kW (268 hp) Final Tier 4 engine, and increased torque compared to previous models. The eight-wheel 1270G harvesters are suited to steep slopes and soft ground conditions. Operators can now utilize IBC to further control movements in this difficult terrain, which will also reduce the learning curve for new operators. The cabin of the G-series machine increases operator comfort by adjusting automatically to boom movements while the automatic levelling functions absorb terrain changes. Source
