This Deere 1270G is a used processor harvester — sometimes called a cut-to-length harvester or a CTL harvester — a purpose-built forestry machine designed to fell, delimb, and cross-cut trees into logs of precise lengths in a single pass through the forest. John Deere is a globally recognised manufacturer of agricultural, construction, and forestry equipment, and its forestry product line is widely used in commercial timber harvesting operations around the world.
This 2017 machine is configured with an eight-wheel drive chassis, which provides the ground flotation and traction needed to operate in soft, uneven, or steep forest terrain. The tyres are sized at 710, giving the machine a wide footprint that helps distribute weight and reduce ground disturbance. The cab is equipped with both rotation and levelling functions, allowing the operator to remain level and maintain a clear working view as the machine moves across sloped ground — a critical safety and productivity feature in demanding harvesting conditions.
The boom extends to ten metres, giving the harvesting head a wide operational reach to access timber without the machine needing to reposition constantly. The harvesting head fitted is a 415, providing the cutting, delimbing, and measuring capability at the end of the boom. Together, the boom length and head configuration determine the machine's productive capacity and the range of timber dimensions it can process.
This machine is located in Missouri, USA, and is offered for sale at $329,000.
