This 2018 Deere 1270G is a used processor harvester — sometimes referred to as a cut-to-length harvester or a CTL harvester — a purpose-built forestry machine designed to fell, delimb, and buck trees to precise lengths in a single pass. John Deere is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of agricultural and forestry equipment, with a long-established presence in purpose-built logging and timber-harvesting machinery.
The machine is equipped with a rotating and leveling cab fitted with air conditioning, allowing the operator to work comfortably across sloped and uneven terrain while maintaining a stable, level working position. This leveling system is a key feature for productive operation on hillside and contoured forest ground. The cab's rotation capability gives the operator broad visibility and flexibility when positioning the harvesting head.
The drivetrain is configured in an 8x8 arrangement, providing power to all eight wheels for maximum traction and mobility across soft, wet, or rough forest terrain. This type of all-wheel drive configuration is well suited to the demanding ground conditions typically encountered in timber harvesting operations.
The boom system reaches 32.8 feet, or 10 metres, giving the machine a substantial working radius and allowing it to process timber without frequent repositioning. The machine is paired with a 415 head, the harvesting attachment responsible for gripping, delimbing, and cross-cutting stems at the point of felling. The machine is located in Wisconsin, USA, and is offered for sale at $359,000.
