John Deere Introduces Its New Harvester and Forwarder Series: Arriving in Chile This Year
John Deere's new line of forestry machinery will arrive in Chile in the final quarter of 2025 through Salfa, a dealership with over 86 years of experience in the market. The large-sized H Series Harvester and Forwarder, manufactured in Finland, stand out for their productivity, efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness.
Comprising the 1270H and 1470H harvesters and the 2010H and 2510H forwarders, the H Series is characterized by a substantial reduction in fuel consumption, greater stability during movement, and optimized ergonomics for the operator.
Harvesters 1270H and 1470H.
The equipment features a hydraulic system with three exclusive pumps for superior power and higher working pressure. They also exhibit improved stability on various surfaces, expanding the operating area and increasing versatility.
The 1270H model, a powerful all-terrain harvester, is equipped with an H7 boom that provides 10% more lifting power and can handle the most demanding tasks with ease. Its more advanced version, the 1470H, is the highest-capacity harvester for large trees and also offers easier maintenance.
Forwarders 2010H and 2510H.
The two H Series forwarder models boast up to 25% greater load capacity compared to their predecessor line: the 2010H with a maximum of 20 tons and the 2510H with 25 tons. The latter is the largest log transporter and achieves a driving speed 50% faster.
Their new cranes (called F9 and F10) deliver more power and reach. The F10 is the most robust forwarder crane on the market, featuring superior control, precise load handling, and consistent speed. Additionally, thanks to a new frame lock, the machinery achieves greater stability.
Designed for Operators
The cabins of the H Series equipment were designed by BMW Design Works (the innovation studio of the German automotive group) to prioritize operator well-being, offering exceptional comfort and functionality for the category. Thanks to the new engine placement in the harvesters and the use of insulating materials, drivers work with less noise and better climate comfort. Meanwhile, the redesigned lighting optimizes exterior visibility, enhancing safety and efficiency.
