John Deere Enhances its Tracked Feller Bunchers, Harvesters and Shovel Loggers

  • The enhanced Dedicated Travel System helps boost efficiency and improves multifunctionality by isolating travel functions during operation.
  • The new one-touch Return-To-Level functionality combines multiple leveling system adjustments into one push-and-hold operator input for enhanced focus.
  • All 900-Series models now incorporate a variety of leveling system improvements.

MOLINE, Ill. — John Deere introduces new operator assistance features and enhancements on its 900 M-Series Tracked Feller Bunchers, 900 MH-Series Tracked Harvesters and 900 ML-Series Shovel Loggers. With a focus on customer productivity, the updates include an enhanced Dedicated Travel System, which has been updated for greater efficiency and is now a new feature on the 900 M-Series machines. Additionally, the new Return-to-Level functionality and further undercarriage improvements help to enhance durability. These operator assistance feature updates help improve the overall customer experience in variable operational applications.

"These performance and functionality enhancements are driven by ongoing customer feedback, which we continuously integrate into our machines," said Jim O'Halloran, global product marketing manager at John Deere. "The updated operator features and improvements on our 900 Series models empower operators to maximize efficiency with simplified functionality, for exceptional productivity."

The Dedicated Travel System isolates the travel functions from the other functions on the machine. This enables the operator to focus on the task at hand by not allowing boom and swing operations to interfere and slow down the travel functions. In addition, the power balance and availability has been optimized and can be adjusted between the upper and travel functions, allowing priority to the needed operations. Dedicated Travel is standard on the 859M, 953M, and 959M Feller Bunchers, as well as the 959ML Shovel Logger. It remains optional on 853M and 903M Feller Bunchers and 859MH and 959MH Harvesters.
