The John Deere 1110G
The John Deere 1110G is a general
machine-class forwarder with an
engine that has 6.6% more power
and 4.1% more torque than its
predecessor. The 1110G is also
available with a short wheelbase.
The shorter wheelbase has been
achieved by moving the rear axle
forward by 40 cm and thereby
allowing the load space to remain
unchanged. The machine’s stability
remains good and its agility
improves, which is beneficial
particularly in thinnings.

hacks!
The John Deere 1210G
The John Deere 1210G forwarder
engine has 7.6% more power
and 7.8% more torque than the
previous model. There are several
load space alternatives with
different widths for different uses.
Optional Variable Load Space (VLS)
consists of three special bunks
with telescopic stakes that can
be extended hydraulically. The
headboard moves both horizontally
and vertically and extends with the
load stakes. The area of the VLS is
4.0-4.8 m2.

The John Deere 1510G
The John Deere 1510G forwarder’s
new engine increases the
machine’s power by 5.1% and the
torque by as much as 8.7%. The
added power and tractive force
increase the machine’s productivity.
The 1510G is also more agile than
the previous model because the
slewing angle has increased from
42 to 44 degrees.
Long bogie for soft terrain
The John Deere 1210G and 1510G
forwarders are also available in a
long bogie version. The distance
between the front and rear wheel
hubs in the rear bogie has been
increased to 1890 mm, i.e. 390
mm longer than in the standard
model. The power train and turning
radius are the same as with the
standard HD portal bogie-equipped
machine. The ground pressure of
the rear chassis equipped with
tracks is 14% smaller compared to
an ordinary bogie axel.
