This 2018 John Deere 1170G is a processor harvester — a purpose-built forestry machine, sometimes referred to as a cut-to-length harvester, designed to fell, delimb, and buck timber into precise lengths in a single continuous operation. John Deere is a globally recognised manufacturer of agricultural, construction, and forestry equipment, with its forestry division producing a well-regarded range of wheeled and tracked harvesters and forwarders for commercial timber production worldwide.
Power comes from a John Deere PowerTech Plus 6068 engine rated at 136 kW (182 hp) and certified to EPA Final Tier 4 and EU Stage V emissions standards, with 9,900 engine hours recorded. The machine runs a six-wheel-drive transmission, providing traction across the varied and often soft ground conditions typical of forestry operations. Front axle tyres are size 710x24.5 and rear axle tyres are 700x34, both reported at approximately 70% remaining tread, indicating useful working life ahead.
The operator interface is built around the Timbermatic H-16 control system, John Deere's dedicated harvester management platform, which handles measurement, bucking optimisation, and production reporting. A calibration calliper is included, essential for maintaining accurate diameter measurement in the harvester head.
The crane is the CH611 IBC loader model with an 11-metre reach and is equipped with boom damping, which reduces stress on the structure and smooths movement during intensive production cycles. The harvesting head fitted is the H413, and it features both a colour marking system and a stump treatment function — tools used to identify assortments in the field and to apply fungicide or other treatments to freshly cut stumps to prevent disease. The machine also carries a central lubrication system and a hydraulic oil refill pump, both of which reduce servicing time during shifts.
Cab comfort and visibility are addressed through a Comfort seat, Webasto pre-heater, sun blinds, radio, and full LED working lights. A rear-view camera is installed, along with GPS. Safety provisions include a fire extinguisher system, and the engine hood is protected by a guard. The machine is located in Latvia and is offered in used condition.
