DEERE 959MLSHOVEL LOGGER/DIRECTIONAL FELLER

OUT HERE, ORDINARY DOESNT CUT IT.
Work can be demanding in your neck of the woods. Thats why we rely on real-world insights from customers like you to tell us what you need to succeed. A long and wide undercarriage for singular stability. Dual-swing drive for productivity-boosting power. Expansive visibility. A large fuel tank to keep running and producing longer. A heavy-duty John Deere PowerTech Plus 9.0L diesel engine that delivers low total fluid consumption and high dependability. And shovel-logger and directional-feller configurations purpose built to harvest logs where reach might seem impossible. This machine was built to tackle your most difficult tasks.

SURE-FOOTED STABILITY
Reliable tractive effort enables maneuverable negotiation of difficult terrain, deep snow, and steep slopes. Long and wide undercarriage with expansive leveling envelope maximizes stability in all terrain conditions.

DEDICATED TO YOUR WORK
Standard Dedicated Travel System works with the powerful 246-Kw (330 hp) engine to further improve machine performance and efficiency, especially in higher multifunctioning applications.

WINNING THE UPHILL BATTLE
The 959ML can be factory configured with a directional-felling boom and head or a live-heel boom for steep-slope shovel-logging applications. The 959ML Shovel Logger can easily grab all logs within reach when working either uphill or downhill, minimizing overall ground disturbance.

LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD
Optional Advanced Slope Management System measures the actual ground-slope angle the machine is working on and actively displays it on the in-cab monitor. Including our Return-to-Level feature that requires only a single touch to return the rotating upper to a level position (when possible), the system boosts operator confidence to efficiently navigate tough steep-slope conditions.

FEEL THE BOOM
Long 36-foot live-heel shovel-logger boom features a wide swath of 20 feet 5 inches, for more capability with less machine movement in hard-to-access areas. Powerful 30- and 34-foot booms for directional felling over a wide swath, up or down the slope, cut widths of up to just over 20 feet.

IT HARDLY SEEMS LIKE WORK
Spacious climate-controlled cab features expansive jobsite visibility, ergonomic controls, and standard fully adjustable air-ride seat. Enhanced LED lighting package, including boom-mounted lights, enables you to work when you want, for as long as you want, no matter the jobsite environment.

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. Optional undercarriage-mounted toolbox provides convenient storage.
