2013 John Deere 843K Feller buncher
at Forestry First 05-02-13
This 2013 model Deere 843K is working in Pine Plantation.
We filmed this cutter working on a second thinning job
where the stems are 6 inches or so average, many less.
This feller buncher is very impressive. The owner has been
pleased with fuel consumption and the speed and power
of this feller buncher is more than adequate in his thinning
and logging operations. The operators are also making
positive comments about the cab interior which has
recently been much improved. The old steering column is
gone and it opens everything up in terms of visibility and
space for your legs. If you have not sat in one of these you
should do yourself a favour and hop into one.
