ALL ABOUT JOHN DEERE KNUCKLEBOOM LOADERS
To run ahead of the competition, you need logging machinery and tree handling equipment that keeps up at the landing. That's why John Deere knuckleboom loaders are built to work through harsh environments.
With powerful swing torque and lift force, streamlined hydraulics, reliable fluid economy, and expansive visibility, these rugged machines set the pace in the forest day after day.
Why choose a John Deere knuckleboom loader?
Knuckleboom loaders have specially designed booms for log handling. The double boom and center knuckle allow for loading in tight spaces and working within low clearances.
John Deere knuckleboom loaders combine component strength with forestry technology to help you meet challenges in the woods. They provide quick swing and boom movement so you can get the job done and move on to the next.
We offer two knuckleboom logging models as part of our full line of forestry equipment.
Our knuckleboom loaders provide loggers with these advantages and more.
- John Deere PowerTech™ engine minimizes total fluid consumption.
- Optimized hydraulic oil reservoir capacity: The reservoir reduces refill time and oil change costs, and the sight gauge is visible from the operator’s seat.
- Maximized uptime: Large fuel tanks, reliable cylinders, and fuel-efficient engines allow you to work longer between fill-ups.
- Auto-idle feature: Automatically reduce engine speed when hydraulics aren't in use to save fuel.
