This John Deere 1470 E is a used processor harvester — sometimes called a harvester forwarder or cut-to-length harvester — a self-propelled forestry machine designed to fell, delimb, and cross-cut trees to precise log lengths in a single pass through the forest. John Deere is a globally recognised manufacturer of agricultural, construction, and forestry equipment, building machines trusted in commercial timber operations worldwide.
This 2009 machine is located in Latvia and is offered at USD 50,000. It carries a recorded 20,800 engine hours and is powered by a John Deere PowerTech Plus 6090 engine rated at 190 kW (255 hp) and certified to EPA Interim Tier 4 and EU Stage IIIB emissions standards. Drive is delivered through a six-wheel-drive (6WD) transmission, giving the machine the traction needed on demanding forest terrain. The harvester weighs 21.7 tonnes net.
The operator's cab runs a PC-based, Windows-platform TimberMatic H-12 control system, which handles harvesting head programming, log measurement, and production reporting. The listing confirms that a caliper is included, supporting accurate diameter measurement on the job.
The loader is the CH8 model with a reach of 10 metres. The harvesting head fitted is the H480C, manufactured in 2015, making it six years newer than the base machine. Tyres on the front axle are size 750×26.5 and are at approximately 30% remaining life; rear axle tyres are size 700×34 and sit at around 20%.
Cab equipment includes a standard seat, sun blinds, and a radio. Working lights are LED. Additional practical features include a Webasto pre-heater for cold-climate starting, a hydraulic oil refill pump, and a fire extinguishing system, the last of which is standard practice on forestry machines operating in fire-risk environments.
