DEERE 859MTRACKED FELLER BUNCHERS

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 feller buncher equipped with standard Smooth Boom Control (SBC) for exceptional command. A long and wide undercarriage for sturdy stability. Dual-swing drive for powerful performance. Standard Rapid Cycle System (RCS) for optimized operation. Uncompromising cab comfort and visibility. Plus a range of available options to suit your application. 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.

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.

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 updated premium Bluetooth radio with XM Satellite Radio ready from the factory take comfort to the next level.

LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD
An available option on the 859M Tracked Feller Buncher, our industry-leading slope-monitoring system measures the actual ground-slope angle the machine is working on and displays it on the in-cab monitor, for more confident operation in tough steep-slope conditions and potentially greater overall efficiency.

DEDICATED TO YOUR WORK
When equipped with the Dedicated Travel System feature, a 246-kW (330 hp) engine option can be selected to further improve the performance and efficiency of the Travel System and all other machine functions.

GET IN THE SWING
Dual-swing system increases power and performance in demanding felling or harvesting conditions, boosting overall productivity.

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.

FIND YOUR FELLING HEAD FIT AND CUT TO THE BOTTOM LINE.
Designed to run on swing-to-tree tracked feller bunchers like the 859M, these flexible felling heads can more than capably help you take it on.

ROBUST FLEXIBILITY
Available in both limited and high rotation, the FS22B and FR22B are our most versatile felling heads. Theyre robust enough to handle larger, mature trees, with the tree-handling performance to also efficiently accumulate mid-sized timber. The 859M Tracked Feller Buncher is most typically equipped with the FR22B felling head.

WELL WITHIN YOUR REACH
From small stems to big timber, softwood to hardwood, level or sloped ground, John Deere has a disk saw felling head thats designed for your job.

CUT AND ACCUMULATE
The FR21B* is a lighter-weight, high-rotation felling head designed for both select- and final-harvest applications. With excellent cut and accumulation capacity, this felling head has been optimized for small to mid-sized timber.

POWERFUL PRODUCTIVITY
Its 686-millimeter (27 inch) single-cut capacity makes the FR27 our largest cut-capacity felling head. Over 16-percent bigger than the FR24B, a massive 0.70-square-meter (7.5 square foot) accumulation area efficiently handles a single large tree or multiple smaller stems. With long harvesting arms, hardened steel saw housing, and large side-chip exhaust chute, the FR27 is productive, durable, and maintenance friendly.

PROVEN RELIABILITY
Delivering efficient, multi-stem high-accumulation performance with huge pockets and tall horns, and available in both limited and high-rotation wrist, FS50 and FR50* felling heads are best suited for first and second thinnings as well as high-production plantation harvests.
