Features
John Deere PowerTech™ 9.0-L diesel engine delivers low total fluid consumption and high dependability.
- 959ML allows for a directional felling head or a grapple and live-heel boom for shovel-logging applications.
- The 959ML Shovel Logger can easily grab all logs within reach when working either uphill or downhill, minimizing overall ground disturbance.
- FL100 Directional Felling Head delivers outstanding grapple capability, arm durability, and rotate/tilt power.
- 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.
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.
- Spacious climate-controlled cab features expansive jobsite visibility, ergonomic controls, and standard fully adjustable suspension seat.
- Optional state-of-the-art slope-monitoring system measures the actual ground-slope angle the machine is working on and displays it on the in-cab monitor.
