LIMITATIONS.
 Tough conditions demand thoughtful solutions. A lot of
deep thinking went into our G-Series Wheeled Harvesters,
including extensive input from loggers just like you — the
ones who live it every day.

These versatile machines will help you overcome obstacles,

no matter your harvesting application or terrain. They
are loaded with improvements that boost performance,
including an enhanced Intelligent Boom Control (IBC) system
option on the JD180S boom for the 1070G, CH6 boom for the
1170G, CH7 boom for the 1270G, and CH9 boom for the 1470G
that delivers more precise boom control.

Built on more than 180 years of groundbreaking innovation.

Backed by over a half-century of experience in the woods.
And designed with proven components to withstand the
toughest environments. The G-Series will help you outrun
limitations. And make you rethink what a wheeled harvester
can accomplish.

READY WHEN YOU ARE
Versatility meets
capability.
Whether you are thinning, regeneration
harvesting, or working in more demanding
conditions like soft soils or steep slopes,
there is a G-Series Wheeled Harvester to
fit your needs.

Agile 1070G
Available in four- and six-wheel configurations, the nimble, productive
1070G is the perfect choice for thinning operations.

Multitalented 1170G
The versatile six-wheeled 1170G handles everything from thinning
to regeneration harvesting. Equip it with 26.5-inch front tires for the
higher ground clearance needed in deep snow or rocky environments.
The powerful eight-wheeled 1170G provides excellent stability on
ordinary logging sites or steeper slopes as well as the low ground
pressure needed for soft-soil applications.

Hardworking 1270G
With the power to handle large trees, the six-wheeled 1270G is an
exceptional all-around wheeled harvester. This model is also available
in an eight-wheel-drive option for conditions that call for maximum
traction and climbing ability.

Stable and able 1470G

For ultimate harvesting productivity, choose the stable, smooth 1470G
Harvester. Equipped with a CH9 rigid boom, the 1470G is perfect for
tackling large timber and extreme conditions.

Adaptive Driveline Control

Select the driving mode (Eco, Normal, or Power) that best fits conditions
during high loads, and Adaptive Driveline Control automatically adjusts
engine rpm to keep driving speed steady. Select Normal mode for
everyday operation or Power mode to get maximum tractive force in
high-load situations. For lighter demands, Economy mode reduces
engine speed and noise while improving fuel efficiency.
 MORE COMFORT AND CONTROL
Calm, cool, collected —
and cutting wood.
A comfortable operator is a productive
operator. And G-Series Wheeled Harvesters
offer plenty of fatigue-beating comfort
and control, for maximum productivity
with minimal effort.

Do your level best

The rotating and smooth-leveling cab turns 290 degrees providing
360-degree visibility to surroundings and boom movements. The
auto-leveling cab keeps the operator balanced and comfortable
in steep and uneven terrain.

Precise, efficient harvesting control

The TimberMatic H-16 control system provides reliable, efficient
control of all harvesting functions, for more precise, quicker boom
movements and greater productivity. User-friendly software offers
easy-to-learn patterns and operator-specific patterns, so you can
get the most out of your machine every shift. A remote display and
more detailed diagnostics speed troubleshooting.

Straightforward control system

State-of-the-art TimberMatic H-16 machine-control system
features an easy-to-use interface that integrates base machine
control with its measuring system. This configurable user interface
comes standard.

Watchful eye
Exclusive TimberLink™ automatic monitoring system keeps an
eye on operating costs while tracking machine performance and
efficiency, and providing that data to the TimberMatic system.
Work-cycle information such as idle time can be used to fine-tune
settings and improve operator technique.

10
EASY MAINTENANCE

NO SWEAT.
Fast daily checks
Grouped checkpoints and optional central
lubrication system speed daily checks and greasing.

More uptime between service

Main service intervals of 1,500 and 3,000 hours
with intermediate service at 750 hours decrease
planned downtime and expense.

Fuel-efficient hydraulic-driven fan

Hydraulic-driven variable-speed fan runs
only as needed, reducing fuel consumption
and debris flow through the cooler cores.
It’s programmable to reverse at periodic
intervals to clear core-clogging buildup.
