HARVESTERS<br />
903KH/909KH TRACKED
Tough equipment for a tough job.<br />
Logging isn’t easy. Of course, nobody ever said it would be. And when it comes down to it, you’re<br />
okay with that. But when you’ve got a tough job to do, you need equipment. We’re proud to say our<br />
KH-Series Tracked Harvesters fit the bill.<br />
The KH-Series is more powerful than ever. So you can get more done. Take on more of the forest. With<br />
a larger displacement 9.0L engine, these machines deliver the power you need to move, swing, and<br />
harvest faster than ever. Thanks to the lowest daily fuel cost in the industry, you’ll be more efficient<br />
than ever, too. And with our redesigned cab, you’ll be more comfortable than ever.<br />
2<br />
Logging isn’t easy, but choosing — and using — your equipment should be. Which is why we’ve created<br />
the KH-Series Tracked Harvesters. They’re tough machines that make your job, well, a little less tough.<br />

Looking for a harvester that can handle the worst of the woods? Meet the KH-Series.
Redesigned cab. In the KH-Series, you’ll enjoy a clearer<br />
view, a powerful HVAC system, more storage, and an<br />
optional deluxe seat. We’ve also improved the placement<br />
of the key switch and six USB ports for easy access.<br />
Waratah factory installation. The KH-Series’ electrical<br />
and hydraulic components have been factory installed and<br />
fully documented for optimized performance and quick,<br />
consistent troubleshooting. And with structural and hose<br />
routing improvements, top-of-the-line Waratah harvesting<br />
heads will keep you running longer, better.<br />
Power. The 9.0L engine, available in 300 or 330 maximum<br />
horsepower, makes lifting, swinging, and tracking<br />
easier. And the 295-gallon fuel tank lets you get more done<br />
between fill-ups.<br />
CommandCenter. The factory-standard Advanced<br />
Display Unit gives the operator a clear view of critical<br />
gauges and superior on-board diagnostics. And the Sealed<br />
Switch Module lasts ten times longer than standard dash<br />
switches.<br />
Service access. For ease of maintenance, there are two<br />
points of entry into the engine and pump enclosure that<br />
can be reached via a walkway from the cab so you don’t<br />
have to leave the machine.<br />
Debris management. The reverse cooling fan keeps leaves<br />
and pine straw off the grill for better airflow to the engine<br />
while on-demand fan speed keeps noise levels down, for<br />
you and bystanders.<br />
Hydraulics. With dual-swing motors for high torque, the<br />
KH-Series has all the brawn you need — and a power management<br />
system that makes sure none of your horsepower<br />
is wasted.<br />
Protected undercarriage. With double flange rollers for<br />
maximum durability, this harvester handily clears nearly<br />
every obstacle.
It works harder,<br />
so you harvest easier.<br />
The KH-Series is built to perform, from its factory-installed Waratah harvesting head to its agile,<br />
long-wearing tracks. So you can get more done in less time. The woods will never know what hit ‘em.<br />
Sturdy, hard-working boom designed specifically<br />
for harvesting operations.<br />
Powerful, factory-installed Waratah heads are<br />
easy to inspect and maintain.<br />
See the terrain, the trees, and the machine from<br />
every angle, thanks to a skylight, a bottom window,<br />
and better all-around visibility.<br />
The 9.0L engine is unmatched in performance.<br />
Reliable leveling keeps you secure on steep<br />
inclines and rough terrain.<br />
A high tractive effort-to-weight ratio with low<br />
ground pressure guarantees agility.<br />

Get in the know<br />
with JDLink.<br />
JDLink, John Deere’s innovative machine-monitoring<br />
system, takes the guesswork out of productivity.<br />
Through a secure Web site and text messages,<br />
you can track location, fuel consumption, efficiency,<br />
engine load, and more. Use the data you receive to<br />
adjust your usage and work habits to get the most<br />
from your machine — and your time on the worksite.<br />
With JDLink, everyone from the operator to the<br />
comptroller is on the same page.<br />
With JDLink, you can:<br />
• Get the data you need to adjust usage and boost<br />
productivity.<br />
• Be alerted when your machine needs attention.<br />
• Know whether a machine is harvesting, idle, or<br />
turned off.<br />
• Estimate future jobs more accurately.<br />
• Monitor fuel consumption rates.
More rock. Less roll.<br />
Steep, rocky worksites are no problem for the KH-Series. Its bestin-class<br />
leveling system keeps you steady, centered, and parallel<br />
to the ground — even when climbing or tilting. That means you<br />
can work in a wider area and stay focused on harvesting, not on<br />
fighting gravity.<br />
The KH-Series offers all-around leveling: 26<br />
degrees forward, seven degrees rearward, and<br />
14 degrees on either side.<br />

Get where you need to go — this harvester<br />
can handle steep grades, stumps, and sloping<br />
terrain.
Where logging and<br />
luxury meet.<br />
You’re no stranger to the 12-hour workday. So you need a cab that’s built for comfort. One like we’ve<br />
put in the KH-Series. Redesigned with you in mind, it’s got a deluxe seat. A wide view. A powerful HVAC<br />
system. Brighter lighting. More convenient storage. New power ports. We like to think of it as the<br />
logger’s lap of luxury.<br />
1<br />
With the new factory-mounted keyboard and mouse,<br />
and repositioned key switch and USB port, you’ll have<br />
everything you need in front of you and within a<br />
comfortable reach.<br />
With a redesigned HVAC system, this machine heats,<br />
cools, and defrosts quickly so you’re ready to go in any<br />
weather.<br />
1. The KH-Series features better all-around visibility.<br />
2. The optional Air Ride Seat reduces operator fatigue.<br />
3. Refined harvester integration including factorymounted<br />
keyboard and mouse.<br />

Harvesters that put you<br />
ahead of the game.<br />
With John Deere, harvesting heads are never an afterthought. The KH-Series was designed<br />
specifically for top-of-the-line Waratah equipment, from our integrated plug-and-play wiring<br />
to our factory-installed hydraulic system.<br />
12<br />
13
With several top-of-the-line Waratah head options — all<br />
with integrated plug-and-play wiring and plumbing — your<br />
operational capabilities have never been broader.<br />
The KH-Series has been designed specifically for Waratah<br />
heads, from the cab to the tip of the stick.<br />
The consistent TimberRite measuring system optimizes<br />
performance so you can spit out more trees every hour.<br />
Structural and hose routing improvements.<br />

Uptime that won’t let you down.<br />
Dependability. It’s one of the things we like most about the KH-Series. These machines are made<br />
for maximum uptime, starting with an intuitive, easy-to-read, full-color LCD monitor that provides<br />
onboard diagnostics, gauges, and vital system status lights. Then there are the longer-lifespan<br />
switches, the protective hood, and the dual-swing drives that cut down on wear. The harvester<br />
doesn’t disappoint — and won’t keep you waiting.<br />
Logging isn’t easy. Of course, nobody ever said it would be. And when it comes down to it, you’re<br />
okay with that. But when you’ve got a tough job to do, you need equipment. We’re proud to say our<br />
KH-Series Tracked Harvesters fit the bill.<br />
Another downward trend, a positive one, is lower operating costs. The KH-Series provides easy access<br />
to components ad compartments to minimize maintenance time. Its superior design keeps you<br />
running longer. And its best-in-class fuel economy means fill-ups won’t drain your budget.<br />
1<br />
1. Our Sealed Switch Module (SSM) lasts ten times<br />
longer than traditional dash switches — and it’s<br />
easy to see and reach.<br />
2<br />
14<br />
15<br />
2. The intuitive ROPS post-mounted, full-color LCD is<br />
easy to navigate, well lit for night use, and starts up<br />
immediately. Even in cold weather.<br />
3. KH-Series hoses are routed to maximize flow — and<br />
minimize potentially harmful heat build up.<br />
3
Stronger, reinforced steel hood keeps internal<br />
components safe from falling objects.<br />
Low-velocity cooling system, designed to<br />
accommodate engine heat loads, minimizes<br />
the draw of debris.<br />
Two swing drives keep loads evenly distributed<br />
to prevent damage.<br />
Reduced fuel consumption. The auto-idle<br />
feature conserves fuel during non-productive<br />
times, and the hydraulic reversing fan<br />
draws just enough power to meet cooling<br />
requirements.<br />
Easier maintenance. The KH-Series offers<br />
easy access to the engine and pump<br />
compartment and all major compartments,<br />
including rollers. Maintenance work that<br />
used to cost you a day takes just an hour.<br />
Smart design. From adjustable thrust bearings<br />
that keep the tilt mechanism tight to<br />
an in-tank hydraulic filtration with spin-on<br />
filters for fewer filter changes and superior<br />
dirt capture, the KH-Series is as reliable as it<br />
is rugged.<br />
An unmatched dealer network. When you<br />
have a Deere, you have the entire John Deere<br />
network at your disposal.
