New K-Series Feller Buncher

New K-Series Wheeled Feller Bunchers
The rugged hydraulics system, electrical harness, air-intake design, and front and rear 1400 heavy-duty axles make short work of tough tasks. All of these elements come together to deliver a fast and dependable workhorse for your team, one that can deliver increased production and uptime along with lower daily operating costs. And with the optional JDLink— the innovative, integrated John Deere machine-monitoring system—you'll see new gains in productivity, too.

The K-Series keeps your operating costs low while keeping your maintenance efforts manageable. Based on a tilting- cab design, service and maintenance are faster and more convenient than ever. A proven, time-tested routing layout for hydraulic and electrical lines prevents rubs and leaks, resulting in greater longevity. Combined with closed-center diff-lock, extended oil and axle service intervals, and a reversible cooling fan to help shed debris, maintenance becomes a pleasure. The new K-Series keeps you in the clear, both under the cab and around the engine.

  • Tilting cab—allows greater access to the engine and vital components.

  • Load-center compartment—located behind the secondary door exit, offers quick and easy access to fuses and relays.

  • Less debris buildup—special plumbing layout gives protection against debris and costly under-cab buildup.

  • Diff-lock actuation system—a closed-center diff-lock, simplified component layout, and cleaner axle oil deliver better durability, pulling you out of tough spots quickly and easily.

  • Automatic reversible cooling fan—keeps debris buildup to a minimum, blowing leaves and other scrap off the grill, giving you a cooler running engine while eliminating maintenance downtime.
