John Deere presents its new slash bundler, the 1490D Eco III. The new John Deere 1490D Eco III is also available with either a fixed mount or detachable bundler unit. The bundler unit can be detached from the rear frame and the 1490D then equipped with a load space, allowing the machine to be used as a forwarder.
The main components of the 1490D slash bundler with a detachable bundler unit include a powerful CF7 boom with a 10-meter reach length, a detachable adapter for the bundler unit, a rear frame from the 1410D model and hardwearing HD (Heavy Duty) bogies from the 1410D Eco III forwarder. The John Deere 1490D Eco III slash bundler comes with a software feature that automatically lowers the engine`s RPMs to idle if the boom is not used within a set time. The RPMs automatically increase when work is resumed. Thanks to the automated RPMs, the machine runs even more quietly than before and its fuel consumption is minimal.
The new Eco mode optimizes the engine`s RPMs with a hydrostatic transmission ratio to achieve the desired vehicle speed at the lowest possible RPMs. The Eco mode can be used at both low and high speeds. The John Deere 1490D Eco III comes with John Deere’s own innovative PowerTech Plus engine for heavy-duty use.
