This John Deere 1270D is a processor harvester — sometimes referred to as a harvester head carrier or cut-to-length harvester — a type of purpose-built forestry machine designed to fell, delimb, and cross-cut trees to precise lengths in a single continuous operation. John Deere is a globally recognised manufacturer of agricultural, construction, and forestry equipment, with its forestry machines serving professional logging and timber harvesting operations worldwide.
This 2005 machine is offered in used condition and is located in Romania. It is configured as a complete working unit, combining the 1270D base carrier with a John Deere 560 harvester head already fitted, making it ready for forest operations without the need for a separate head acquisition. The machine has a self-weight of 17.5 tonnes, reflecting the robust, heavy-duty construction required for demanding timber harvesting work.
Propulsion is provided by a four-cylinder engine producing 160 kW, delivering the sustained power needed for harvesting operations across varied terrain. Drive is distributed through a 6×6 configuration, meaning all six wheels are driven, giving the machine strong traction and stability on uneven forest ground. The boom reaches 11 metres in working length, allowing the harvester head to access trees at a meaningful distance from the carrier without repositioning.
The operator environment includes joystick controls for machine and head functions, as well as air conditioning in the cab, supporting comfort and precision during extended working shifts. The seller describes the machine as being in good working condition and notes that it has been recently imported. The listed price does not include VAT.
