Imagine a production system that not only drives productivity but also creates a lasting legacy for generations to come. With the large H production system, we take productivity to new heights.
The new, large size-class H Series harvesters and forwarders demonstrate higher productivity with significantly lower fuel consumption, better stability and improved operator ergonomics.
By integrating new automation and real-time connectivity, our production system enables seamless communication and collaboration between human and machine, freeing up valuable resources and propelling businesses towards unparalleled success.
Increased productivity gives you flexibility for the rough weather conditions. What if you could complete a year’s production in less time? What would you do? A holiday? Maybe less machines? More or less of what is up to you.
Frame lock, high performing engines and improved hydraulics improve drivability and provide increased productivity with less fuel per m3 harvested.
New hydraulics with three dedicated pumps offer more hydraulic power and higher work pressure for feeding. The system is optimized and ensures a balanced fuel economy.
Intelligent Boom Control IBC becomes a standard feature in our large H Series harvesters, and IBC 3.0. becomes a standard feature in H Series forwarders.
Intelligent Cabin Key is a personal remote key to unlock the machine door and open the PC and TimberMatic control system with operator-specific settings. When the operator opens the door lock remotely, the machine is powered, the PC is started and the approach lights are lit automatically. The operator can just start the engine and the machine is ready to work.
New booms have increased lift and slew forces. They offer more power and longer boom reaches.
The new H7 boom for harvesters offers approximately 10% more lift power and slewing torque. The new H9 boom also has the same 10% increase in lift power, and the slewing torque is 5% more than in the previous model.
The F10 forwarder boom has a new longer reach of 10.2 meters. The corresponding longer reach in the F9 boom is 10.7 meters. The hydraulic hosing and hose routings have been improved. The new F10 is the strongest forwarder boom in the market. With the 40% increased boom lift torque and 22% higher slewing torque, larger grapple options become available.
The cylinder-operated frame lock makes our machines steady in all terrains and enables excellent stability while working with the boom sideways, offering the operator a large working area. Confident and stable working with the cylinder-operated, strong frame lock and maximized stability with the optional active frame lock.
We understand the value of minimizing fatigue and preserving energy for what truly matters.
From intuitive interfaces to ergonomic designs, and from a quiet cabin to accessible service points, every aspect is crafted to enhance the operator’s experience and ease of use.
The TimberMatic H control system with the integrated TimberMatic Maps helps the operator achieve superior performance and productivity.
TimberMatic H automation offers ease of use and improved ergonomics. The new interface is simple and easily accessible. The H automation system creates a consistent user experience across all forestry products. The new visualization includes options for night and daylight view. And the on-screen view only shows the info relevant to the situation.
The rotating and levelling cabin becomes standard in the large H Series. The cabins have an excellent view to the working area, an improved climate control system and a ±30° increased cabin turning angle. Better lights, lower noise level and more storage space for the operator. A new secondary display for base machine functions and cameras, multiple charging outlets, a new pedal for selecting the drive direction, a new premium audio system with subwoofer and treble speakers.
With IBC, boom control is precise, fast and easy because the operator can focus on controlling the grapple rather than the boom joint movements. IBC improves work safety and makes the work easier.
Configurable button joysticks in harvesters make the everyday work easier.
Serviceability is at the core of our production system. We’ve incorporated modular designs and easily replaceable components to make maintenance and repairs simple. Not only does this reduce downtime and costs, it also minimizes environmental impact, contributing to a sustainable future.
Daily servicing is made easy. The liquid inlets are all located in the same easily accessible place. All machines have electric engine oil level sensors and a totally new central greasing system for ease of use. There are also several practical storages around the machine.
Fewer individual service tasks and centralized, easily accessible service points make it easy to service the H Series machines. Optional automatic lubrication and central greasing save time. The engine oil level check is automatically visualized on the TimberMatic screen on start-up.
Up to 1000h service intervals with a service contract and a shorter service time means less downtime and lower costs.
John Deere offers three service plan options for H-series machines, with intervals of 500 hours, 750 hours, or 1000* hours. Our new 1000-hour service plan stands out as the best in the market, allowing for less time spent on servicing and lower operating costs. This achievement reflects our unwavering commitment to continuously improving our machines.
By opting for the 1000-hour service plan, you can convert the saved service time into increased production and higher earnings. However, please keep in mind that utilizing the extended 750-hour or 1000-hour service plans requires meeting certain requirements:
Following these guidelines will help ensure optimal performance and longevity for your H-series machine.

New hydraulics with three dedicated pumps offer more hydraulic power and higher work pressure for feeding. The optimized system ensures a balanced fuel economy. The new Active Frame Lock brings more stability, whether working on steep slopes or flat ground. This makes it easier to work when the boom is sideways and gives the operator a larger working area.
The new trade dress is designed for the operator by BMW Design Works. In both harvester models the engine has been turned 180 degrees, the hydraulic oil and fuel tanks and the pumps have been placed in front of the engine, and the fan is at the rear of the machine. All this makes for a very quiet cabin.
John Deere H216 is a new large harvester head for hardwood and softwood. It’s productive and easily customized to different needs.
