1470G Harvester
Equipped with many of customer-
approved features found in the
1270G models, the 1470G is
equipped with a bigger CH9 boom
and a different front frame, bogie
axles and tires. The largest in the
lineup, the 1470G machine has
been praised for its power and
toque, as well as its steady engine
performance without drops in
RPMs.
The 1470G harvester features
a high ground clearance, making
the machine ideal for tough terrain
and steep slopes. Integration of
the CH9 boom is available in three
reach options, providing increased
balance and superb accuracy and
maneuverability. The CH9 boom
is optimized with the Twin Pump
Hydraulic System, and enables
concurrent boom movements, head
operations and machine activity.
M-Series Harvesters
The M-Series Tracked Harvesters
were designed based on customer
input. “This machine is designed
for the future,” said Roy Isley of
D&J Isley and Sons Contracting
Ltd., owner of an 859MH model.
“This harvester is an absolutely
awesome machine. The steeper
the terrain, the better it runs.
The balance and reach are really
impressive. The machine just wants
The 1470G
to be there.”
Spacious and comfortable,
the operator station features
ergonomically designed controls.
Adjustable armrests, fingertip
control of machine functions, and
an air-conditioned seat ensure
operator comfort during long shifts.
Additionally, the floor-to-ceiling
and side windows along with the
overhead skylight administer
44 percent more visibility than
previous models, for enhanced
view of the timber.
Rapid Cycle System (RCS)
is standard on the M-Series
Harvesters, and blends an
automated felling-head arm
cycling with simple boom
control. This system significantly
reduces operator fatigue while
simultaneously increasing
efficiency and productivity.
Multiple RCS settings can be saved
according to individual operator
preferences based on skill levels.
All the wheeled and tracked
harvesters are equipped with
JDLink™, the proven telematics
solution from John Deere. Available
five years in base, JDLink remotely
connects owners and managers
with their equipment and their
local John Deere dealer, providing
visibility to the jobsite. With alerts
and machine information, as well
as performance and maintenance
data, JDLink allows owners and
managers to better manage where
and how equipment is used, even
from miles away.
