| John Deere introduces E-Series forest machines to North America  John Deere has introduced the revolutionary E-Series forest machines to North America, following its initial launch in Europe. The E-Series is the latest development in Deere's line of wheeled harvesters and forwarders, all designed with stronger frames than their predecessors and equipped with rotating and leveling cabs. "John Deere harvesters and forwarders offer the ideal blend of power, stability and intelligence needed to perform in North America's most rugged environments," said Andrew Bonde, marketing manager at John Deere. "Operators have told us that they like the E-Series for its steady and accurate movement, combined with unprecedented comfort and visibility."All E-Series Harvesters and Forwarders offer comfort, controllability and reliability. The rotating and leveling cab with revamped automation offers 360 degrees of visibility. The automatic air-conditioning of the new cab, top-quality upholstery, low noise and vibration levels and a wide range of additional accessories ensure first-class operation. Thanks to the cab stabilizer, which works softly and precisely, operating speed can be increased. The four models in the E-Series Harvester family include the 1070E, 1170E, 1270E, and the 1470E. The 1070E is available in a 4-wheel or a 6-wheel version. New generation harvester heads are part of the series launch, with the H414 developed especially for the 1170E harvester, and the compact-sized H412 compatible with the 1070E and 1170E harvesters. The E-Series' six forwarders include the 810E, 1010E, 1110E, 1210E, 1510E, and 1910E. The load capacity and engine power of the two biggest models have been increased. The 1510E, powered by a 6.8-liter John Deere PowerTech Plus engine with high torque at low rpm, and the 1910E with a 9.0-liter John Deere PowerTech Plus engine, are built especially for heavy-duty operations. The new TimberMatic H-09 measuring and automation system includes fully integrated trouble-shooting and anti-bucking functions. The system is easier than ever to use as the special operator-targeted parameters can be quickly located. The unique TimberLink software facilitates the monitoring and optimization of the machine's performance. John Deere increased the uptime of the E-Series by requiring fewer daily inspections and longer service intervals. The E-Series' hydraulic fan changes direction automatically and cleans dust and foreign bodies from the cooling system. A preliminary filter significantly increases the operating life of the engine air filters. Additionally, the harvester has a central lubrication system, which shortens the time required for daily maintenance. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
