Feller Bunchers L-Series II Wheeled Feller Bunchers The L-Series II Wheeled Feller Bunchers were designed based on extensive customer input, resulting in a lineup of machines that improve operation, maintenance, and reliability. The simplified L-Series II models incorporate several part changes to reduce complexity. Changes to the electrical and hydraulic systems and improvements to component placements enhance the logger experience when servicing the machines. “The two-piece wiring harness makes it easier to work on the machines,” said Wayne Sugg of Sugg Logging. “Wiring is rerouted, so it is not bunched up in the machine, which reduces rubbing wear. The cylinder guards protect the hoses from falling limbs. These changes help make the machine more reliable, which saves time and money on maintenance.”

From the L-Series wheeled machines to the 959ML and M-Series Tracked models, the John Deere feller bunchers deliver productive, reliable machine solutions built with loggers’ needs top of mind.
M-Series Tracked Feller Bunchers Ongoing input from customers has helped to make the 800M- and 900M- Series Feller Bunchers more productive and user-friendly. The
spacious operator station was designed by loggers for loggers and includes ergonomically designed controls. Other features include fully adjustable armrests with mounted keypads, a sealed touchpad allowing longer switch life, and floor-to-ceiling front windows to improve visibility. “The guys in the cab, they can see so much better off of the visibility. And that visibility should equate to better productivity… if the guy can see better, he can do a better job,” said Cory Isley of D&J Isley and Sons. The 800M- and 900M- Series are equipped with a Final Tier 4 engine, increasing overall

performance and reliability by minimizing fluid consumption. This latest Final Tier 4 engine meets EPA regulations in emissions without sacrificing power or torque. The optional Rapid Cycle System (RCS) allows for faster, low-effort joystick control of all boom functions. This helps operators of 800M- and 800MH-Series machines to be more productive by combining automated felling head arm cycling with simple boom controls. RCS significantly reduces operator fatigue while increasing efficiency and productivity.
