The 2054 Swing Machine Delivers Big Power in a Small Package
MOLINE, Ill. (May 18, 2006)—Don’t let the size of the 2054 fool you. It packs a punch in overall strength, power, and lift capacity, with value that’s good for your bottom line. It’s purpose-built to be the toughest machine in the woods, not a modified excavator.
The 2054 is the smallest of the John Deere swing machines, but it outperforms other machines in its class. It can be equipped for a logger’s specific needs as a harvester, delimber, log loader, or road builder. At 141 hp (105 kW), the six-cylinder John Deere 6068 turbocharged diesel engine delivers the torque curve to efficiently handle the job with lower fuel consumption.
Load-sensing hydraulics further its efficiency by automatically matching the power to the load for smooth cycles and easy operation.
For superior strength and reliability, the 2054 has two optional high and wide undercarriages. Both offer improved ground clearance and greater stability.
Minimal tail swing of only 9 ft. 7 in. (2.9 m) enables it to get into tight spots without worry. And the 269-gal. (1 018 L) fuel tank is integrated with the counterweight for maximum stability.
The 2054 Harvester features a Waratah HTH622B harvester/processing head. The 622B is a versatile head, perfect for felling, delimbing, measuring, and bucking in one powerful attachment. It cuts wood up to 30 inches (762 mm) thick and processes up to 24 inches (610 mm). With its redesigned body, complete with an extra tough hanging bracket and double shear pins, the 622B is tough enough to stand up to the punishment of the woods.
With its versatility to be equipped for specific applications, the 2054 delivers everything a logger needs in today’s market.
