Three years
in the making and backed by over a half-century of experience in the woods, the
John Deere M-Series Tracked Feller Bunchers and Tracked Harvesters are
officially making their debut. The latest additions to the John Deere family of
tracked forestry machines include the 800M and 800MH-Series Reduced Tail Swing,
setting a new standard in midsize machines, along with the 900M and 900MH-Series
that improve upon John Deere's industry-leading large-size machines, as the
company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
To develop
the M-Series Tracked Feller Bunchers and Tracked Harvesters, John Deere
enlisted loggers from around the world to form a Customer Advocate Group (CAG).
The CAG provided real-world insights on what they need in a machine to be
successful. Inspired by their feedback and validated by thousands of hours of
testing in every day conditions, John Deere listened and responded with
machines that change the game in terms of uptime and productivity.
"When
we designed our new midsize and large-size machines, we relied on the input of
the people who are in the machines every day – our customers," said Cliff
Caudill, Manager, Product Marketing, John Deere Construction & Forestry.
"After collecting invaluable customer input, we spent over 11,000 hours
testing the machines until we got them exactly right. The result is a new fleet
of machines that redefine the meanings of uptime, productivity and low daily
operating costs."
