This John Deere 1470D is a processor harvester — a self-propelled, purpose-built forestry machine designed to fell, delimb, and cross-cut timber in a single continuous operation. Machines of this type are sometimes referred to as harvesters or cut-to-length harvesters within the forestry industry. John Deere is a globally recognised manufacturer of agricultural, construction, and forestry equipment, and its forestry line is widely used in commercial timber harvesting operations around the world.
This 2007 machine is offered in used condition from Romania and comes paired with a John Deere H480 harvester head, making it a complete, ready-to-work system. The harvester head is the cutting and processing attachment that grips, delimbs, and bucks logs to length, and its inclusion with this listing represents a significant operational advantage for the buyer.
The machine has an operating weight of 20 tonnes and is powered by a six-cylinder engine producing 180 kW, providing substantial output suited to demanding cut-to-length harvesting work. The boom reach extends to 11 metres, giving the operator a wide working arc from a single machine position and reducing the need for frequent repositioning in the stand. Controls are joystick-operated, consistent with modern forestry machine ergonomics, and the cab is equipped with air conditioning for operator comfort during extended shifts.
The seller describes the machine as being in good working condition and notes that it was recently imported. The listed price of $62,000 does not include VAT.
