DEERE 853MHTRACKED HARVESTERS

BUILT FOR WORK IN THE REAL WORLD.
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. Powerful swing system for reliable 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.

SMOOTH OPERATION
Smooth Boom Control (SBC) allows machine movements to be controlled more effectively, delivering a smoother experience for the operator and less wear and tear on the machine over time.

SURE-FOOTED STABILITY
Generous tractive effort enables reliable negotiation of difficult or steep terrain, deep snow, and swamps. Long and wide undercarriage maximizes stability in all terrain conditions.

COMFORTABLE CONTROL
Ergonomically designed controls and seat with dual-density seat pan and contour plus updated armrest and suspension boost overall operator comfort. Options such as heated-ventilated seat (HVS) and, where available, updated premium Bluetooth radio with XM Satellite Radio ready from the factory take comfort to the next level.

EXPANSIVE VISIBILITY
Floor-to-ceiling front window, large side windows, skylight, and optional floor window significantly expand the view of the harvesting area and the work at hand.

REACH BEYOND
Extended stick option for the 853MH enables a longer reach to minimize the number of cut trails and enhance machine efficiency.

SMART DEBRIS MANAGEMENT
Designed to keep your workspace free and clear, the productivity-boosting debris-management system is integrated into the hood and left-side guarding to prevent materials and debris from entering the cooling package. External screening, sealed cooler compartment, and standard variable-speed reversing fan provide protection as needed.

TAKE CONTROL WITH IBC
BOOST PRODUCTIVITY FROM THE GET-GO
Optional Intelligent Boom Control (IBC) smooths boom operation, making it more precise and efficient.

NICE AND PRECISE
IBC improves the precision of attachment positioning, especially at extended reaches. Joystick movements deliver consistently smooth boom speed, no matter how far the boom is extended.

EFFORTLESS CONTROL
With IBC, operators no longer need to control each independent boom function separately. Just control the attachment position, and IBC automatically guides the boom and cylinders accordingly. IBC also automatically controls swing speed based on the overall position of the attachment.

CHOOSE HOW YOU WORK
IBC is easily configurable to user preference, so operators can adapt their motions to the application. The IBC control pattern that works best for each operator can also be selected, further enhancing personal ease of use. Individual user settings can be saved in up to eight separate profiles, to accommodate multiple skill and experience levels.
