Mid-size 1110G, 1210G and 1510G models The mid-size forwarders, including the 1110G, 1210G and 1510G models, are equipped with features that boost machine power and operator precision. The mid-size models feature adaptive driveline control, a first in the forestry industry, which improves drivability and productivity. Using this software-based control system, the operator can select the desired RPM setting (Eco, Normal, Power) for the operating conditions, and the system automatically adjusts the engine’s RPMs to correspond with the engine load. In high- load situations, driveline control ensures that the diesel engine runs smoothly and uses the available maximum tractive force efficiently. Boasting 6.6% more power and 4.1% more torque than the previous model, the 1110G is stable and agile, making it ideal for thinning jobs. The machine is available with a short wheelbase, and the rear axle on the 1110G has been moved forward, ensuring that the load space is unchanged. The 1210G features 7.6% more power and 7.8% more torque than its predecessor. Available with optional Variable Load Space (VLS), the load space can be easily configured based on operator need. With VLS, the width of the load space is adjustable, allowing for more flexible forwarding and sorting. The power and torque on the 1510G machine has been increased by 5.1% and 8.7%, respectively, boosting machine productivity. With an increased slewing angle (44°), the 1510G is more agile than the previous model. Both the 1210G and 1510G models are available in a long bogie version. The distance between the front and rear wheel hubs in rear bogie has been increased, and the power train and turning radius on the 1210G and 1510G models are the same as with the standard HD portal bogie- equipped machine. The long-bogie versions deliver more ground pressure for logging in soft terrain, as well as better stability when navigating over obstacles in rocky conditions. Large 1910G model The 1910G is the largest forwarder model in the line-up and offers maximum power and performance. The 1910G features 7.5% more engine output and 21% more torque that its predecessor. Additionally, increase drive hydraulics and 4.5% more tractive force makes this machine ideal for tough conditions. The 1910G also offers a larger load capacity. The cross-sectional area of the wide load space is bigger and the new-generation headboard provides excellent visibility to the load space. Additionally, the productive CF8 boom moves smoothly and seamlessly, increasing accuracy and efficiency. John Deere telematics Customers can get more out of their forwarders by taking advantage of the John Deere ForestSight suite of technology solutions, including JDLink, now available five years in base. JDLink enables fleet owners to monitor their machines from miles away, monitoring machine health, tracking hours and identifying any maintenance needs. In partnership with a local John Deere dealer, JDLink allows the dealer service department to easily diagnose machine issues without traveling onsite, reducing maintenance costs and downtime. The mid-size forwarders, including the 1110G and 1510G, are equipped with features that boost machine power and operator precision 46 International Forest Industries | JUNE / JULY 2018
