DEERE 959MTRACKED FELLER BUNCHERS

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. Standard and long-reach boom options with choice of multiple attachments to match the application. Dual-swing drive for productivity-boosting power. Expansive visibility. A large fuel tank to keep running and producing longer. And a heavy-duty John Deere PowerTech Plus 9.0L diesel engine that delivers low total fluid consumption and high dependability. This tracked feller buncher was built to tackle your most difficult tasks.

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

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.

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

RAPID CYCLE SYSTEM (RCS)
Optional RCS can be tailored to individual skill levels and specific harvesting conditions, from large single-tree harvesting to high-speed, multi-stem cutting. Multiple RCS settings can be saved according to individual operator preferences.

WORK WITHIN REACH
Standard boom reach of 8.9 meters (29 feet 4 inches) helps minimize the machine movements needed to get things done. Adding any of a variety of available large-capacity attachments with up to 686-millimeter (27 inch) cut capacity on the FR27 felling head further increases boom versatility.

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.

GET A HANDLE ON IT
Optional undercarriage-mounted toolbox provides convenient storage for tools, saw teeth, extra saw bars, and other spare parts, eliminating extra trips back to the service truck.

As part of John Deere Connected Support, information from thousands of connected machines flows through the MHMC, enabling our specialists to identify trends and develop new and improved preventative-maintenance and repair protocols.

FIND YOUR FELLING HEAD FIT AND CUT TO THE BOTTOM LINE.
Designed to run on swing-to-tree tracked feller bunchers like the 959M, these flexible felling heads can more than capably help you take it on.

POWERFUL PRODUCTIVITY

Over 16-percentlarger capacity than the FR24B, the massive 0.70-square-meter (7.5 square foot) accumulation area of the FR27 enables efficient handling of a single large tree or multiple smaller stems. With long harvesting arms, hardened-steel saw housing, and large side-chip exhaust chute, the productive, durable, and maintenance-friendly FR27 is available as a standard attachment on the 959M Tracked Feller Buncher.

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.

PROVEN RELIABILITY
Delivering efficient, multi-stem high-accumulation performance with a huge pocket and tall horn, 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.
