From thinning to final felling - New John Deere 1070D Eco III harvester
The John Deere 1070D Eco III harvester is the latest addition to the John Deere Eco III product portfolio. Deliveries of the John Deere 1070D Eco III model will start at the end of October.
The new 1070D Eco III harvester is the right choice when looking for an efficient, versatile harvester for thinnings or final fellings. An assortment of harvester heads, a boom reach of up to 11.3 meters and a powerful engine make it a machine that boosts productivity even in the most demanding conditions.
John Deere 6090 PowerTech PlusTM engine
Like the bigger harvester models, the John Deere 1070D ECO III harvester is equipped with a John Deere PowerTech PlusTM engine designed particularly for non-road vehicles. The engine complies with the stringent Tier III emissions regulations and offers best-in-class fuel economy and improved forest machine performance. The new engine has better transient response.
EcoPull is a new software feature that optimizes the engine’s RPMs with a hydrostatic transmission ratio to achieve the desired vehicle speed at the lowest possible RPMs. EcoPull can be used in both slow and fast driving conditions. EcoPull automatically engages in slow driving in the forest. EcoPull can also be engaged during fast driving on level, easy terrain, like on a forest road. EcoPull reduces noise levels and fuel consumption and thus daily operating costs.
Automatic work RPMs. The engine’s work RPMs are automatically lowered to idle if the boom is not used within the set time. The RPMs automatically increase once the work is resumed.
