John Deere offers a complete line of powershift skidders ranging from 96kW (127 hp) to 156 kW (209 hp). You have the choice of direct drive or torque converter transmissions, short wheelbase for stability, and tyre and axle options to suit the terrain. You can even narrow it down to a skidder that’s virtually custom-fit to your operation – one that is hard to match for operating ease and comfort, for reliability, and for the greatest productivity in your prevailing conditions.
Just Tell it to "Go Fetch" The 540G-III goes where you want it to, and pulls a bigger drag faster, and in a higher gear than ordinary skidders. Now you have a choice to couple a direct-drive OR torque-converter transmission to the powerful John Deere engine.
Synch the wheels with full diff-lock for maximum traction, or unlock them for less tire scuffing. A full 90 degrees of frame articulation ensures tight turns, and the long wheelbase and wide stance provide unmatched stability.
Achieve Inner Peace The harsh environment is best left outside. You'll feel relaxed and comfortable in the stylish interior of the 548G-III cab. Adjust the steering wheel and air-suspension seat to your liking. Set the temperature and air flow for optimum comfort, and you're ready to roll.
You'll find controls easier to reach and operate, from positioned hydraulic levers and a wider accelerator pedal to centralized accessory controls. Because this cab will be your home away from home, we have thrown in a beverage holder, coat hook and a cell-phone hook up.

Big Machine...Even Bigger Bottom Line
The 848H is the biggest skidder John Deere has ever offered. Now you can move the same amount of wood as you could with two smaller machines.
More Power to You The field-proven John Deere PowerTech™ helps deliver more wood to the deck using less fuel. Its single-stage torque converter Powershift transmission automatically adjusts to changes in the ground terrain, providing optimal pulling power power and traction at good ground speed.
While the 848H is all business on the outside, inside is a warm, roomy interior that will put the operator right at home. The fully enclosed cab provides excellent, all-around visibility and is loaded with creature comforts including air conditioning, an excellent heating system and plenty of storage space.
