2024 - John Deere 1170G 8WD Processor Harvester

About this machine

This John Deere 1170G 8WD is a processor harvester — also known as a cut-to-length harvester — a purpose-built forestry machine that fells, delimbs, and cross-cuts timber in a single continuous operation. John Deere is a globally recognised manufacturer of agricultural, construction, and forestry equipment, with its forestry division producing a wide range of harvesting and forwarding machines for professional timber operations. This example is a 2024 model in used condition, currently located in Germany and offered at $370,000.

The harvesting head fitted to this machine is the John Deere H424, equipped with steel feed rollers, roller protection guards, a urea system, and the Supercut bar-and-chain arrangement. Measurement and production data are handled by the TimberMatic H-16 computer with an integrated printer, giving the operator full cut-to-length control and accurate log-quality reporting directly from the cab.

The crane is the John Deere CH6 unit with an 11.0-metre reach and integrated boom control (IBC), providing precise, dampened log placement. A central lubrication system is fitted, which reduces maintenance downtime by automatically greasing critical pivot points throughout the working shift. The machine is equipped with automatic cabin levelling and automatic crane levelling, both important for comfortable and productive operation on the uneven terrain typical of forestry work. The cab rotates, allowing the operator an unobstructed view in all working directions.

Additional cab and operator features include a GPS preparation port, a measuring calliper, a BeGe AirVent suspension seat, air conditioning, a parking heater, LED headlights throughout, gold-foil cab insulation, a reversing camera, a remote-controlled door, and a hydraulic ladder for safe cab access. Onboard services include an oil and diesel fill pump and a vacuum pump. Entertainment is covered by a radio with MP3 connectivity.

Tyre equipment on the front axle consists of 710 × 26.5 Nokian FKF F2 tyres on both positions, each reported at 90% remaining tread depth, indicating low wear. The listing includes a full workshop inspection, a service interval completed with all filters and oils renewed, German documentation and software, and free transport to the point of use.
