boom automatically adapts as it is
taken to a tree and when the tree
is in the grapple. With the addition
of IBC, the 1270G and 1170G
harvesters have more controlled
movements, decreasing the
learning curve for new operators.
All G-Series harvesters feature
standard Adaptive Driveline
Control, a system that improves
the machine drivability and
productivity by automatically
adjusting engine RPMs to
correspond with the engine load.
Adaptive Driveline Control ensures
that the engine runs smoothly
and efficiently uses the maximum
tractive force available during high-
load situations.
New 1070G Harvester
The John Deere family of
harvesters feature powerful and
intuitive machines designed to
handle tough harvesting jobs.
The G-Series wheeled harvesters
and M-Series tracked harvesters
are backed by dedicated dealer
support and equipped state-of-the-
art technology, saving customers
both time and money.
adjusts to the boom movements,
while the leveling functions absorb
any terrain changes. This decreases
machine vibration by as much
as 50 percent during operation,
increasing operator comfort.
An industry first, the 1270G and
1170G models are equipped with
Intelligent Boom Control (IBC).
Available solely for the 1270G CH7
boom and 1170G CH6 boom, IBC
increases operator accuracy and
productivity. IBC allows the driver
to control the harvester head, while
the system directs the movements
of the boom. Designed for the
unique work cycle of the harvester,
the movement and operation of the
Ideal for thinning, particularly in
fragile terrain, the 1070G features a
compact, easy to maneuver frame,
wide tires and a balanced frame.
The 180S boom on the 1070G
model is available with a 8.6-,
10- or 10.8-meter reach, and can
be equipped with a H412, H413 or
H414 harvester head.
G-Series Harvesters
The powerful Final Tier 4 G-Series
harvester line, including the 1070G,
1170G, 1270G and 1470G models,
features the standard Processing
Power Control (PPC) system.
PPC optimizes fuel efficiency
by coordinating the accurate
processing level with the current
work conditions and tree size.
By selecting the Energy Saving,
Normal or Boost Mode options,
the system can foresee the engine
load and adjust accordingly. This
improves fuel economy, saving
time and money due to less fill
ups. Additionally, the Twin Pump
Hydraulic System on the G-Series
harvesters provides operators
with strong and steady control
of the boom and harvester head.
This precise control enables the
operators to be more productive
and less fatigued during long
workdays.
The G-Series cabins are another
example of how John Deere designs
their machines with the operator
in mind. The cabin automatically
