Redesigned cab-window guarding minimizes external barriers to expand visibility to the front while a lower left-rear hood profile opens up the view behind the machine.

Dedicated swing circuit provides the continuous power needed for productive delimbing and loading.

With a rotator designed for harsh pull-through delimbing applications, the Deere 52-inch grapple confidently grabs, lifts, and handles long, heavier trees. Vehicle hydraulics are tuned to match the grapple to enable precise operator control.

The wiring harnesses of the electronic controller-based electrical system have been simplified to reduce the number of fuses, relays, and wires by approximately 30 percent compared to previous models.
