"The 1270E is our most powerful and productive harvester yet for steep ground," said Pekka Leppanen, product marketing manager for John Deere. "With the addition of the eight-wheeled option, this machine is now more versatile than ever before, offering the best possible performance for our customers who work on demanding terrain."
The eight-wheeled option for the 1270E was specifically designed for steep slope and soft soil conditions. The eight-wheel drive provides superior traction and stability even in the most difficult of conditions. It also offers more power, higher ground clearance, a large approach angle and strong Duraxle™ bogie axles with customized balancing gear units. These features allow the 1270E to perform well on steep slopes.
Additional highlights of the 1270E eight-wheeled harvester include:
- Engine Power, the eight-wheeled 1270E harvester comes standard with John Deere's 6090 PowerTech™ Plus turbocharged engine. This increase in power delivers a level of productivity previously unseen in this size-class.
- Operator Comfort, a leveling and rotating cabin provides additional operator comfort and productivity on steep terrain.
- Serviceability, key machine components such as the drive valve are well-positioned for ease of maintenance.
