Simplify logging operations with forestry equipment technology

It’s true — there is no such thing as a routine job or an easy day for loggers. But at John Deere, we have the forestry equipment and technology to help you outrun expectations and succeed in the trees.

John Deere’s full line of forestry equipment is built with brains to leverage the brawn. Our technology solutions help loggers stay profitable, productive, and efficient.

Eliminate guesswork with Precision Forestry

Take the guesswork out of effective decision-making for your operation with John Deere Precision Forestry.

Seamlessly coordinate your team’s performance in the woods and in the office with our Precision Forestry tools, including TimberMatic Maps and TimberManager. These software platforms can revolutionize how you plan, implement, and monitor your logging operations.

TimberMatic™ Maps is an onboard software solution that helps you visualize your jobsites in new ways. With real-time production views, optimized routes, and shared wireless connections between machines, it’s easy to take your forestry operations to the next level.

TimberManager™ is a web-based solution for PCs, tablets, and mobile phones, allowing you to follow progress on your jobsite. Combined with TimberMatic™ Maps, this software provides data insights about your operation — from land harvested to machine production — so you can streamline communication and increase efficiency.

TimberMatic™ Maps and TimberManager™ are available on nearly all models of John Deere forestry equipment, including skidders, wheeled feller bunchers, tracked feller bunchers, wheeled harvesters, tracked harvesters, forwarders, and swing machines.

Take control with operator assistance technology

Leverage John Deere’s operator assistance technology to make operating easier and more precise, and to increase production and help retain the best operators.

Intelligent Boom Control (IBC) is an operator-assistance solution available on John Deere tracked harvesters, wheeled harvesters, and forwarders. IBC smooths boom operation, making it more precise and efficient and easier to control all boom movements. This gives users an enhanced level of control over their logging operation and their bottom line.

With IBC, operators no longer need to control each independent boom function separately. Just control the attachment position, and IBC automatically guides the boom and cylinders accordingly. IBC also automatically controls swing speed based on the overall position of the attachment.
