John Deere's G-Series harvesters, which were earlier launched in Europe, have now made an entry in the North American market. Ideal for final felling and late thinning, the John Deere 1270G and 1470G hrvesters combine high productivity with high fuel efficiency.

As a key feature of the G-Series, Standard Processing Power Control (PPC) optimses fuel efficiency by matching the appropriate processing level to the work conditions and size of the tree. Simply select Energy Saving, Normal or Boost Mode, and PPC does the rest of the work. The PPC system anticipates the engine load and responds with the right power increase, thus improving the fuel economy. Additionally, an advanced twin-pump hydraulic system ensures ample power for smooth, simultaneous operation and maximum control of the boom and harvester head. This feature ensures sufficient grip on the trunk of the tree and increases productivity without taxing the operator.

"At John Deere, our goal is to offer products and solutions that give our customers the best possible performance and productivity," said Sakari Suuriniemi, Product Marketing Manager, John Deere. "The G-Series wheeled harvesters have proven successful among loggers in Europe and will be a great addition to John Deere's wide portfolio of equipment to meet the business needs of our customers in North America as well."
