Healthy Forest, Green Energy
The 1490D Energy Wood Harvester, or “Bundler”, has a dual advantage – it produces biomass energy and clears the forest floor of slash.

The B380 bundler unit, integrated with Total Machine Control for smooth operation, very tightly compresses, wraps and cuts a slash log, which can then be transported and used as biomass fuel. Each log provides about one megawatt hour of energy, equal to the electricity produced by 21 to 28 gallons of oil.

The 1490D is powered by a turbocharged six-cylinder John Deere diesel engine, electronically controlled with low emission levels, high torque rise and responsive power bulge in the work range.

The Energy Wood Harvester combines all the usual comforts of a John Deere machine for a stress-free shift, and the cab can be raised and shifted to the side for easy service access.
