John Deere has announced the introduction of new Autoshift functionality on its popular line of H-Series Skidders.
According to John Deere, the elimination of shifting allows operators to use their right hand to run the grapple and focus on pulling the load, which effectively makes the skidder easier to operate, increases productivity and decreases operator fatigue.
The Autoshift option leverages the fuel efficiency advantage of direct drive and lock-up torque converter (LUTC) transmissions, and automatically selects the optimal gear for a given load.
"The H-Series skidders are built to maximize uptime, satisfy a wide-range of customer preferences, and keep operating costs down," said Elizabeth Quinn, Product Marketing Manager, Skidders and Wheeled Feller Bunchers. "Faster load gathering and ground speed combined with best-in-class fuel efficiency ensure the H-Series Skidders move the most wood at the lowest cost per ton."
