TRACK & WHEELJohn Deere RevolutionNew E-series harvesters and forwarders unveiled.Major investments in R&D coupledwith continuous product updatesand innovations guarantees JohnDeere’s position as the pioneer in forestmachine quality and design. In additionto efficiency, product developmentexperts focus on improving comfortand ergonomics in the operatorsworking environment and minimisingenvironmental impact. Such dedicationhas lead to what John Deere is callinga Revolution in forest machinerydevelopment with the unveiling of theground-up redesigned E-series harvestersand forwarders.With an efficient design and newlyenhanced features, the new John DeereE-series forwarders give forestry operatorsmore comfort, control, and durability thanever before. The operating environmentfeatures a turning and levelling cabin aswell as an enhanced friendly automationsystem. The feature packed E-seriesharvesters and forwarders will deliverhigher productivity, lower daily operatingcosts, and maximise uptime.The most visually noticeable upgradeof the E-series is the introduction of arotating cabin design with a 290o turningenvelope, which enables operators toquickly rotate the entire cabin betweendriving and loading positions, eliminatingthe operator’s need to worry about turningthe seat inside the cab. The rotating cabgives the operator a full 360-degree viewof the machine’s surroundings, so theoperator has the best possible visibility100% of the time, without having tostrain their neck or swivel their seat. Thecabin quickly and smoothly follows themovements of the grapple (or felling headon the new harvesters), making logloading(or processing) accurate, efficientand ergonomic. John Deere says thisminimises operator fatigue and furtherimproves jobsite and operating safety.An optional cab levelling feature isavailable on all E-series harvesters andforwarders. Responding to changes inthe terrain, the levelling cab keeps theoperator in a level working position toallow for faster driving, further boostingproductivity. Settings for the seat, turningand levelling functions are fully adjustableaccording to operator’s preference.The E-series harvester and forwarderengines have been designed and builtspecifically for the demanding conditionsof harvesting and forwarding.
