DEERE - 953MH Back

DEERE 953MH TRACKED HARVESTERS

We make tracked harvesters that combine strength and smarts to meet any challenge. These proven machines are designed with components that help you move through thick swamps and navigate steep slopes. And our tracked harvesters are now equipped with optional Intelligent Boom Control, an operator-assistance solution that simplifies the logging experience and delivers more consistent boom movements. Its our way of adding new innovation to proven experience, and giving you the equipment and tools you need to excel in the woods.

Net Power: 246 kW (330 hp) at 1,900 rpm
Max. Boom Reach: 10.34 m (33 ft. 11 in.)
Tractive Effort: 322 kN (72,300 lbf)

Keeping up in the woods and at the landing can be some of the hardest work you do. So when you asked for job-proven mid-size might to help get things done, we took it from there. The result is a tracked harvester equipped with standard Smooth Boom Control (SBC) for exceptional command. A long and wide undercarriage for sturdy stability. Dual-swing drive for powerful performance. Uncompromising cab comfort and visibility. Plus a range of available options to suit your application including Intelligent Boom Control (IBC) for optimized control and operation. It all adds up to a purpose-built machine designed to work for you.

FEATURES

OPERATE IN COMFORT
Operating for long hours is common. As the day goes on, maintaining consistent productivity is important. One factor in keeping high, consistent productivity is a comfortable operating environment. The M-series boasts greatly increased window area for better visibility and more cab space over prior models. Low-effort electrohydraulic (EH) controls allow you to customize the button and lever layout to your preference and save your settings when switching between operators.

Large and spacious operator station designed with operator input
Ergonomic controls and increased cab volume over prior models
Floor-to-ceiling front window, large side windows, skylight, and optional floor window (standard on leveling machines) significantly expands operator visibility
Optional heated and ventilated seat

INTELLIGENT BOOM CONTROL
Intelligent Boom Control (IBC) smooths boom operations, making them more precise and efficient, to increase operator productivity compared to a Deere tracked harvester without IBC. With IBC, you no longer need to control each boom function independently. Just control the direction of the head with a single lever command, and IBC will automatically guide the boom and cylinders accordingly. IBC also utilizes adaptive swing control to adjust the swing speed based on the overall position of the head. This makes controlling the head more precise and intuitive, especially for new operators, compared to machines without IBC.

Customizable control pattern and boom motions
More efficient and consistent boom movements
Enhanced cylinder cushioning reduces shock loading at end-of-stroke
Overall improved operator experience
Simple and intuitive to operate

SERVICEABILITY WITH EASY REACH
Easy access to service components helps operators perform daily checks and any scheduled maintenance, which helps minimize unplanned downtime and costly repairs down the road. The 800M-series tracked machines feature a fully opened enclosure and service doors for excellent access to all scheduled maintenance areas.

Smart debris management designed to keep your workspace free and clear
Variable-speed reversing fan helps minimize debris build-up in the cooling package
Swing-out doors provide wide-open access to the cooling package
Optional vacuum pump for convenient servicing of hydraulic components
Grease banks for servicing hard-to-reach joints
Large fuel tank extends intervals between fill-ups
Remote diagnostics and machine monitoring with JDLink
Available side walkways provide direct access to the enclosure from the operator station*
*Side walkways are optional features on 903M, 953M, and 953MH models

SURE-FOOTED STABILITY
The M-series undercarriage is purpose built to handle severe forestry applications while maintaining maneuverability, especially in thinning operations. The track frames are shaped to deflect debris while also providing strength and stability.

Long, wide undercarriage provides solid balance to maximize stability
Exceptional tractive effort for negotiating difficult or steep terrain, deep snow, and swamps
Optional closed-loop hydrostatic drive on 800M/MH models for increased multifunctioning performance
Various track pad widths and grouser types are offered to best suit the machine to its application
Optional tri-track helps prevent premature wear due to track twisting

WITHIN EASY REACH
Two boom options are designed to match your attachment and application. A powerful 9.12-meter (29.9 foot) boom accommodates large harvesting attachments in big timber, while a more versatile 10.34-meter (33.9 foot) boom with extended harvesting/processing reach is ideal for applications requiring mid-sized attachments.

THROUGH-NOSE PLUMBING OPTION
Optional through-nose plumbing routes hoses up and out of harms way to extend their wear life, increasing uptime and reducing operating costs.

SIMPLIFIED SERVICE
Convenient access to service components helps simplify daily checks and preventative-maintenance tasks, so they get done on schedule, minimizing costly repairs down the road.

COMFORTABLE CONTROL
Fully adjustable armrests include mounted keypads, for fingertip control of all machine functions. Standard air-ride suspension seat in the climate-controlled cab helps provide exceptional daylong comfort. New heated-ventilated seat (HVS) is an optional amenity.

GET A HANDLE ON IT
Optional undercarriage-mounted toolbox provides convenient storage for tools, saw teeth, extra saw bars, and other spare parts, eliminating extra trips back to the service truck.

LOW TOTAL FLUID CONSUMPTION
John Deere EPA Final Tier 4 (FT4)/EU Stage V diesels maintain peak engine performance while minimizing total fluid consumption diesel fuel plus diesel exhaust fluid (DEF). This exceptionally conservative DEF-use rate is up to four times lower than that of some other FT4 systems.
